Malham Cove
Malham Cove is a huge curving amphitheatre shaped cliff formation of limestone rock. The vertical face of the cliff is about 260 feet high. It was formed by a waterfall carrying meltwater from glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age more than 12,000 years ago and has been fascinating visitors for years.
Interestingly, Malham Cove is where wizards Harry and Hermione camp out whilst trying to evade and defeat the evil Lord Voldemort, a fact that is much loved by visiting school children!
When you book a trip with High Adventure, you can include a visit to Malham Cove as part of your school residential.
Combine your trip to Malham Cove with a visit to Malham which is just 0.6 miles away.

Goredale Scar
Not too far from Malham Cove is a place called Goredale Scar. Gordale Scar is one of the jewels in the crown of the National Park, This awesome hidden gorge at Gordale has wowed visitors for hundreds of years and inspired famous artists and writers.
Like Malham Cove, this impressive natural feature was formed on the Middle Craven Fault. Unlike the Cove, however, the torrents of glacial meltwater that flowed over it cut down through faults in the rock. Successive Ice Ages have carved it deeper and deeper over thousands of years to create the deep gorge we see today. It was not formed by a giant cave collapsing as some have suggested. However, several smaller caves collapsing over the centuries probably contributed to the gorge being so deep.
When you book a trip with High Adventure, you can include a visit to Goredale Scar as part of your residential.
