A Lone Tree

 Here are two, what I think are nice, atmospheric shots of the limestone pavement above Malham Cove.

The lines in the rock lead the eye towards the lone tree on the edge of the cliff in the second image but shot from a slightly different angle the diverging lines frame the tree against the sky.

Fans of the Harry Potter films may recognise this location as this was one of the locations used in the Deathly Hallows where Harry and Hermione pitch their tent... 

This is stunning landscape and well worth a visit, the views are spectacular and the atmosphere is magical.

Limestone Pavement

 This magnificent geological feature is the limestone pavement above Malham Cove. Over the years erosion has exposed the limestone bedrock and the wind and rain has carved these amazing shapes in the rock. I looks great but it is treacherous to walk across. I have been up here in sunshine, rain as well as ice and snow and whatever the conditions it is challenging to cross.

It is definitely worth visiting though and I would recommend approaching it along the path from Gordale and then down the steps to Malham because the climb up the steps to the top is really hard going.

I have some more views from the top to share so if you like these please look out for more tomorrow.

More from Malham

These are my last few pictures from my recent visit to Malham and the limestone pavement above the cove.  It's such a fantastic place I just had to share these pictures which I am sure you will agree are really quite nice...

Malham Terrace

Today's pictures show the impressive limestone terrace above Malham Cove looking across the dales into the distance. 

The pennine way crosses this area and in any weather walking across the limestone pavement is difficult but it is well worth the effort as the views are fantastic and its quite an experience.  I hope that you will agree.
