Where is Malham?
• Malham is a village in North Yorkshire, England. Situated in the Yorkshire Dales with a population of approximately 150.
• The surrounding countryside is well known for its limestone pavements and other examples of limestone scenery.
• The most obvious tourist attractions are Malham Tarn, Malham Cove, and the dry valley.
• Malham is a popular walkers' destination. • The rise in tourism over Malham's history has
led to some deterioration of the area's surrounding paths as tourists wander off the paths and cause pockets of erosion, a process often called "footpath erosion".
• The footpaths in the area are maintained by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority.
• The area is part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.• There are 15 National Parks in England and Wales,
beautiful areas of mountains, meadows, moorlands, woods and wetlands.
• They are areas of protected countryside that everyone can visit, and where people live, work and shape the landscape.
• And each one has an organisation that looks after the landscape and wildlife and helps people enjoy and learn about the area.
• The Pennine Way is a 270 mile (440 km) footpath that goes from central England, along the Pennine mountains, to the Scottish border.
• It passes through Malham.
