The village and civil parish of Malham sits in the limestone country of the Yorkshire Dales within North Yorkshire, England. It is famed for dramatic karst scenery such as Malham Cove with its striking curved limestone cliff and pavement, the gorge of Gordale Scar, and the nearby upland lake Malham Tarn, noted for its unusual alkalinity and rich birdlife.
Historically a farming community, Malham retains traditional dry‑stone buildings and a small parish church, but today the local economy leans heavily on outdoor tourism - walkers, climbers and nature lovers descend in season - while a tight‑knit community balances farming, conservation and the pressures of visitors to protect the special landscapes.
