A magnificent wooded gorge in the South Pennines, with over 18 miles of footpaths, taking in waterside paths and waterfalls. The 'Crags' in the name do not refer to high peaks. Rather, the term is applied locally to the stacks of millstone grit which are a feature of the landscape.

Malham Cove is a stunning, semi-circular cliff on the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales. The Cove is 80 metres high, and approximately 300 metres wide. It was formed by the action of water from nearby Malham Tarn rushing over a carboniferous limestone cliff, and wearing away the stone more in the centre of the cliff to form a wide curve.

The North York Moors is an area of fantastic natural beauty; by turns bleak and forbidding, then green and colourful. The area enclosed by the park is a essentially high plateau bordered by the Vale of Pickering and the Vale of York to the south, and by the Plain of Cleveland to the north. The best time to visit is in July and August, when the moors turn brilliant purple with blooming heather.
