What a day Malham was. Malham is a small community in North Yorkshire with some lovely scenery surrounding it. All in all we did a circle trip starting from the town and returning at the end of the day. We stated out by walking to Malham Cove which is an amazing formation formed by glacial movements. This is also one of the locations from the Harry Potter Film the Deathly Hallows pretty cool huh. We walked up the steps that climbed the rocks to the top where the limestone rocks are. While on the trip it was cool to see some of the natural flora that is suppose to inhabit the area; heart tongued fern, Geum, and orchids. After the cove we walked on to a tarn which is a mountain formed by glaciers. We ate a quick lunch by the tarn and then we were off again. Next was the Gordale Scar which created a gorge and waterfall after the glacier went through. There was a steep rocky descent to the scar and once we got there we realized the only way to get down to the gorge was to climb down a rock face with handle holds and foot perches. Climbing up the rock face would be difficult but going down made it that much harder. It was amazing fun to climb down but I'm not going to lie, a bit scary as well. There is a picture below of a man in a blue shirt climbing down which is what I did. Once you reached the bottom you were in the gorge and you followed the stream that runs from it back to town. It was an amazing day full of excitement and some gorgeous scenery. I truly enjoyed the day out.
