Malham Cove

Picture
Another short yet accessible trek for wheelchair users to view the stunning Malham Cove, which in December had a waterfall flowing over the edge, the first time in 300 years,  following Storm Desmond.

Plenty of parking is available in the   Malham National Car Park, with RADAR toilet facilities and Blue Badge parking.

Plod through the village  and begin the gentle climb out of the village on the road. It is a narrow road, so keep a careful eye for passing traffic.  Soon the cove comes into view. A wide, accessible gate leads through to a gravel path which leads you down to the cove.

Malham Cove is a natural amphitheatre 300m wide and 80 m in height.

Debs's verdict

I did this trek in my normal electric wheelchair. It went over the terrain really well, though I did skid a little on the loose gravel on the downhill bits by the access gate.
It would be a hard push for a manual wheelchair
