Details
The view South from the top of the Cove over the broad valley called Malhamdale, which further downstream becomes known as Airedale.
Malham village can be seen in the middle distance, surrounded by trees. Notice some features of the countryside; the general spread of the trees, the size of the fields, and the variation in their colour.
The bird on the rock in the left foreground is a jackdaw.
The track from the village to the Cove is clearly noticeable as a white ribbon. It is a wide, well made path. The Cove gets a very large number of visitors. The field it passes through is ridged; this is the remains of iron age settlement.
