Yorkshire - Part Six Malham Cove, Linton Falls and Grassington village

Much like Brimham Rocks Malham Cove is a place I have visited previously in 2021 and last year on my visit to Yorkshire.

Again the history and sheer scale of the rocks is not something I see in my local area of the Cotswolds and as someone who just loves huge open spaces of uncluttered nature it is just perfect. 

In 2021 I was so blessed to witness a double rainbow above the cove 
 

In 2021 I did venture to the edge of the cove, which was not easy as the rocks have huge gaps in between and I am not a super fan of heights, although over the years have got alot better.
 
But wow seeing the view stretching out with the lush green fields is just priceless to me. 

So you have an option of different walks, this years walk was just the short one up to the cove, up and back.

Previously I did do the longer walk  over to Janet's Foss Waterfall along the top and round.


 Clouds, big skys wow isn't nature just the best.

 For a sense of scale this guy was at the base of for a fellow rock climber.

Janet's Waterfall was beautiful if not a tad chilly to swim in which some people did. 

I just love the picture of the lamppost against the building with the red postbox in the wall.



Malham Cove is such an impressive place, with just the sheer scale of it. 

I did not personally count how many steps up there were to get to the top, but on the return journey back down a group of school children were doing just that, and not at all out of breath!. 



The gaps in between the huge stones are deceptive though as you do not know just how far down they go. 

I particularly loved this rock, to me it just looked like a dinosaur skeleton. 

Within a barn, there is really interesting information all about the history of the area.  Black and white images are always so much more powerful I think. 

Not far from Malham Cove is Linton Falls, another glorious place to visit.  

Just a short walk from Grassington Village.  I'm sure the river when it has had a lot of rain, would be so impressive to watch and listen to.



I could happily sit and knit and watch the world go by for a long time at a place like this. 


I have always been a huge fan of All Creatures Great and Small, the television show.

Not only from the storyline, but the massive variety of brilliant knitwear that the cast wear.  But the setting the show is filmed in within Yorkshire. 

The village of Grassington is one of the locations. 


The cafe that stopped and had a cuppa also did the most amazing cake. 

 This is the end of my Yorkshire posts, I do hope you enjoyed them.
