Downstream View of Malham Beck with the Old Clapper Bridge

Downstream View of Malham Beck with the Old Clapper Bridge

As Malham Beck runs out of Malham Cove and on towards Malham village, it passes under this ancient stone Clapper Bridge. This type of bridge was generally build by farmers, to enable transferring sheep across a stream and into new pastures. The name is based on the sound of the sheep's feet as they run across. As for the Beck, shortly after it passes through Malham village, it runs into the nascent River Aire.

Janet's Foss and Gordale Beck

Janet's Foss and Gordale Beck

Janet's Foss is a small waterfall where Gordale Beck falls over a rocky outcrop into a deep pool. Jennet, the Queen of the Fairies is said to live here, in one of the caves either behind or near to the falls. The beck continues southwest for a few hundred yards, where it becomes the River Aire, shortly before it is joined by Malham Beck.

Gordale Beck Flowing Towards Janet's Foss, with Sheep Grazing on the Banks

From Gordale Scar, the waterfalls regroup to become Gordale Beck, which flows southwest. This shot was taken after about 6 or 7 hundred metres, at which point its route begins to get rocky, as it approaches Janet's Foss.

An Abandoned House at the Foot of New Knott Hill, Near Gordale Scar in Malhamdale

An Abandoned House at the Foot of New Knott Hill, Near Gordale Scar in Malhamdale

Gordale Lane runs to the east out of Malham village and less that a mile along you'll see this abandoned house, at the foot of New Knott Hill. It looks as though it could have once been a fine family home, but is clearly no longer economical or practical.

Gordale Scar's Waterfalls in Full Flow

Gordale Scar's Waterfalls in Full Flow

Gordale Scar is another impressive limestone cliff in Malhamdale, a little over a mile to the east of Malham village. The Scar is narrow and almost cathedral-like and the rainwater falls over the cliff in 3 stages, making a spectacular view after heavy rain.
