Stay in the Yorkshire Dales
Nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, Malham oozes charm, whatever the season. Life feels slower here, the sunrise wakes the the morning chrous and sheep graze in dry stone walled fields, the way things have been for centuries. The village is nestled in Malhamdale with Malham Cove forming a breathtaking backdrop as you drop into the village from the nearby town of Settle. An all year round haven for walkers, come and see what all the fuss is about.
