Mallen cove??? North yorkshire


Recommended Posts


My dad was born there I think my great grandfather ran a mill or something like that? we used to have a cracking black and white ariel photo framed and hanging on one of the walls in the farmhouse where I grew up. Ive made a few pilgrimages there over the years as its a truly beautiful place, we used to go down in the sports car and fly around all the wee back roads, but this year I will be making the trip to see whats what with the dogs, be able to really take in the scenery properly at my own pace :clapper:

Beautiful place indeed, stopped in the Youth hostel in Malham as a lad with my dad and did loads of walking around there,I can remember clints and grykes(spl) at the top of the cove full of wildlife tucked away out of the wind and also not too far away at Giggleswick a cafe called "Ye old naked man" or something like that,anyone no if its still there????

remember Malham Tarn very well,suprised Snoops had connections there...interesting,but the area in general is a top place,also bejind the cove a bit lower down.is some nice walks,which culminate in a climb up Scordale scar as was documented on a recent TV programme,a place well worth visiting even if your not after. rabbits.......
