Malham Cove Dark Skies Walk

Come for a dark skies walk! On this evening, we’ll be doing the classic Dales circuit of Janet’s Foss waterfall, Gordale Scar and the epic Malham Cove at night.

Although a familiar and popular place during the day, it will appear very different at night. Walking when dark can be exciting and rewarding, leaving you feeling utterly buzzing and refreshed.

But this isn’t any old night walk. The location is perfect for a spot of stargazing. If there are clear skies you’ll learn about the stars, as well as deep time and the landscape you’re walking through. And you’ll find out how to ‘fine tune’ your senses through a little mindfulness so you’ll get even more out of the experience too.

The result? Your WOW-factor will be ramped up. And those worries you had earlier, may have disappeared.

Walk information

The walk length is roughly 5 miles and mainly on footpaths. You’ll be following recognised tracks and trails, however, there are steep as well as extremely uneven sections (the famous Malham pavement). A good level of fitness will be required.
