Gordale Scar :: SD9164

Gordale Scar is a dramatic limestone ravine 1.5km NE of Malham. It contains two waterfalls and has overhanging limestone cliffs over 100 metres high. The gorge could have been formed by water from melting glaciers or a cavern collapse. The stream flowing through the scar is Gordale Beck, which on leaving the gorge flows over Janet's Foss before joining Malham Beck two miles downstream to form the River Aire. A right of way leads up the gorge, but requires some mild scrambling over tufa at the lower waterfall.

Gordale Beck

Gordale Beck is a short (6Km) stream near Malham. It rises near Malham Tarn and flows south, through the impressive Gordale Scar, before joining Malham Beck south of the village of Malham to form the River Aire.
