Yorkshire Dales is also home to some of the darkest skies in the country and with an unpolluted night sky, Malham Cove is the perfect place for some stargazing. On a clear night, you can see planets, the Milky Way and if you\u2019re really lucky, the Northern Lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-northern-lights-2.jpg\" alt=\" northern lights 2\" class=\"wp-image-13036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-northern-lights-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-northern-lights-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-northern-lights-2-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"660px\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.osmaps.com\/config?id=531516de-8de9-461e-88cc-945d21214584\" title=\"Embedded route\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>The walk starts from the lovely village of Malham where there is plenty of parking as well as the option of public transport from both Skipton and Gargrave. There are also some great places to grab dinner after your walk while you\u2019re waiting for the night to settle in to head out on a stargazing adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-view-from-top-of-malham-cove.jpg\" alt=\"Malham Cove Circular Walk - view from top of malham cove\" class=\"wp-image-13033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-view-from-top-of-malham-cove.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-view-from-top-of-malham-cove-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-view-from-top-of-malham-cove-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This walk is a great beginner friendly one with the option to extend your walk to see everything this area has to offer. The path to the bottom of Malham Cove is easy to follow and signposted well. From the base of Malham Cove, the path winds up a set of steep steps to the limestone pavement at the top, overlooking the valley below. The steps are well maintained and even though it\u2019s a steep section, it\u2019s over quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-malham-cove-pavement.jpg\" alt=\"malham cove pavement\" class=\"wp-image-13039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-malham-cove-pavement.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-malham-cove-pavement-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-malham-cove-pavement-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The limestone pavement at the top was the one that appeared in the Harry Potter film The Deathly Hallows and the views here are spectacular. The limestone can get incredibly slippy in wet weather so stay away from the edge and be careful with your footing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-gordale-scar-2.jpg\" alt=\"Malham Cove Circular Walk - gordale scar 2\" class=\"wp-image-13054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-gordale-scar-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-gordale-scar-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-gordale-scar-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The route then heads across the top of Malham Cove and back down through fields towards Gordale Scar. If you want to add on a couple of kilometres to your route, it\u2019s worth heading into the hidden gorge to see the waterfall at the end. The path here is accessible and suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-gordale-scar-3.jpg\" alt=\"Malham Cove Circular Walk - gordale scar 3\" class=\"wp-image-13053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-gordale-scar-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-gordale-scar-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/malham-cove-circular-walk-gordale-scar-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For a shorter walk, follow the river downstream through the woods, past Janet\u2019s Foss, a waterfall said to be haunted by Janet, Queen of the Fairies. This is a popular wild swimming spot or a great place to have a rest and enjoy the beauty surrounding you. The path will eventually bring you back to the starting point in Malham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\"

to view the dark skies at night is from the top of Malham Cove but if you\u2019d rather join a guided stargazing tour then take a look at the ones on offer on the Yorkshire Dales National Park website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<section id=\"block_e6cfa1cbb700bc5715266e6ba47404fe\" class=\"Inner InnerButtons\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row
