In general the scenery of the Yorkshire Dales is delightful rather than magnificent. In this particular area, however, not far from Settle, there are some limestone features that approach grandeur. These are Malham Cove and Gardale Scar.
You will find descriptions of both and some great pictures of these and other local viewpoints on http://www.malhamdale.org.uk/gordale_scar.htm.
Malham is a very attractive village with a pub friendly to walkers and a National Park Information Centre. [edit text][editors]
