Kirkby Malham sits in the limestone scenery of the Yorkshire Dales in North Yorkshire, England, known for dramatic features such as Malham Cove, Gordale Scar and the upland Malham Tarn. The landscape of limestone pavements, scars and dry valleys, shaped around the last Ice Age, makes it a magnet for walkers, climbers and naturalists and the area lies within the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Historically an agricultural community - the 'Kirkby' hinting at Norse origins around the parish church - the local economy still centres on sheep farming, though tourism, holiday cottages and small local businesses now play a big part. The village retains a close-knit social life and many conservation activities, while nearby towns such as Settle provide wider services, giving the place a timeless rural character with a modern, visitor-friendly twist.
