Beck Hall Car park is just to the north on the right hand side of Cove Rd. Please park there and walk back down the 30 metres to the bridge across Malham Beck
Malham is approximately 12 Miles from Skipton for those coming from the East and approximately 33 miles from the M6/A59 Junction at Preston for those coming from the West The Dales Roads are narrow: please drive carefully.
The nearest rail stations are Settle, Gargrave and Skipton. Bus or Taxi are easiest.
Nearest airports are Leeds/Bradford and Manchester International (Ringway).
midway between Scotland and London; Beck Hall hosts many guests
stopping off for a few days on what otherwise would be a long and tiring drive.
Malham is also equidistant between the City of York, Bronte's village of Haworth, Emmerdales spiritual home of Esholt, Beatrix Potter's Lake
District and Hadrians' Wall. So for visitors seeing the Northern parts of England,
Beck Hall makes an ideal stopping off point.
Bolton Abbey is 18 miles from Beck Hall and is a lovely drive along small roads. There are walks galore, and guided tours of the ruined Abbey. Beck Hall used to belong to Bolton Abbey, so you can appreciate the scope of the Abbey's influence before the Reformation.
Skipton and its 900 year old castle is 15 minutes or 9 miles from Beck Hall and has lovely shops, a Market in 3 days of the week and the Leeds/Liverpool Canal running through it. There are delightful walks again along the canal towpath, perhaps finished with Fish&Chips at the award winning Bizzie Lizzies.
Starting in Settle (6 miles, 15 minutes) trains run on a regular schedule to Carlisle, over the world famous Settle-Carlisle Railway. The railway's most well known feature, the Ribbleshead Viaduct, is located 20 miles North of Settle. There are occaisonal Steam Days, but sadly most of the rolling stock these days are unimpressive diesel thingies.
The Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway on the other hand runs impressive steam hauled trips up and down their line most weekends and school holidays.
For people who like visiting gardens we love recommending Harrogate's RHS Harlow Court (18 miles, 45 minutes) as it takes a whole weekend to see all the displays.
Ingleborough Caves and Stump Cross Caverns are a fantastic day out at any time of the year, but can be a real lifesaver when the weather turns poor.
Brimham Rocks is 20 miles or 45 minutes away, past Harrogate and Pateley Bridge, and is a fantastic giants playground of boulders as large of houses. Guaranteed to make every child weary by the end of a day rock climbing.
There are swimming pools at Skipton and Settle, both of which are open all week.
Haworth, home of the Bronte Sister's is 22 miles or 45 minutes drive away from us. There are a multitude of small
shops, and the sister's Parsonage home is now open as a museum.
The number one thing that visitors come to Malham for is the stunning
scenery and huge variety of walks
literally from our doorstep. The
Pennine Way
runs past us, from Lothersdale/Cowling to the South, and then North to Horton-In-Ribblesdale.
There are also the favourite walks to Malham Cove (30 minutes, 1 mile) and
Gordale Scar and Janet's Foss (45 minutes, 2 miles). Or the
Malham circular
encompassing all three natural features along with Malham Tarn, which takes half
a day and covers 3 1/2 miles or 7 miles depending on route.
Here is an adobe acrobat map of the walks
around Malham. There are also ramble's to Settle, Hanlith
Weets Top, Grassington, Arncliffe and Kilnsey Crag. This
link
describes the geological features around Malham and has some great pictures and diagrams.
Pre-booked bike hire is available in nearby Settle for £15 a day, and if you bring your own bike we have lockable storage behind Beck Hall.
At Elite Carriages you can ride in horse drawn carriages.
Coniston Cold Hotel is 6 miles away and offers Falconry handling, Land Rover off road expeditions, Clay Pigeon shooting, Archery and fly fishing
The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority have also documented many ancient ruins and archaeology sites, the list is at www.outofoblivion.org.uk
Fishing is available nearby, either at Coniston Cold or at Malham Tarn via the National Trust. Sadly our little beck plays host to a fish every so often, but with herons and Kingfishers in situ, and further downstream gosling ducks and mink about we don't get many fishy visitors these days.
There is serious climbing fun to be had at Gordale Scar and at Malham Cove.
Between March and early August the
RSPB run a daily Spring and Summer service at the Cove where you can watch the Peregrine Falcons'
using the provided high power telescopes. This year (2010) we are hoping for a
breeding pair much like we had last year. The Peregrine Falcon has been
described as the Ferrari of the air, reaching speeds of 200mph!
Malham is always a beautiful place to photograph, looking at flickr or other galleries
will show the breadth of landscape, architecture and group photograph's that people
take. We are lucky at Beck Hall that two organisers of group photography holidays
chose to use us for their accommodation. If you would like to take part in a learning holiday then
we are happy recommend both Magnetic North and
fotodayz who will ensure you have a great time and make new friends.
