  • Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes
    Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes + Physical Influences Malhamdale The landscape of Malhamdale is dominated by the influence of limestone, and includes some of the most spectacular examples of this type of scenery within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and within the United Kingdom as a whole. Great Scar limestone dominates the scenery around Malham, attaining a thickness of over 200m. It was formed in the Carboniferous period, some 330 million years ago, by the slow deposition of shell debris and chemical precipitates on the floor of a shallow tropical sea. The presence of faultlines creates dramatic variations in the scenery. South of Malham Tarn is the North Craven Fault, and Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, two miles to the south, were formed by the Mid Craven Fault. Easy erosion of the softer shale rocks to the south of the latter fault has created a sharp southern edge to the limestone plateau north of the fault. This step in the landscape was further developed by erosion during the various ice ages when glaciers flowing from the north deepened the basin where the tarn now stands and scoured the rock surface between the tarn and the village, leading later to the formation of limestone pavements. Glacial meltwater carved out the Watlowes dry valley above the cove. There are a number of theories as to the formation of the vertical wall of limestone that forms Malham Cove, whose origins appear to be in a combination of erosion by ice, water and underground water. It is thought that water pouring down the Watlowes valley would have cascaded over the cove and cut the waterfall back about 600 metres from the faultline, although this does not explain why the cove is wider than the valley above.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Leck Fell
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Leck Fell Starting point and OS Grid reference St. Peter’s Church car park, Leck – honesty box (SD 643766) Ordnance Survey map OL2 Yorkshire Dales – Southern and Western Distance 6 miles Date of Walk 31 october 2018 Traffic light rating Introduction: This Leck Fell walk feels like it should be in the Yorkshire Dales because of the limestone scenery but it is in fact in Lancashire. It is a bleak, treeless but peaceful area of high moorland and you are unlikely to meet any/many other walkers. Below your feet is an extensive network of potholes. The route passes one large, fenced off pothole, Gavel Pot but there is no access without a permit and definitely no access unless you know what you are doing and have the right equipment! Much of the walk utilises Access Land where you are free to wander but be careful of any unfenced potholes! Leck Beck and Ease Gill run through the fell and provide some attractive and dramatic views. This route only provides glimpses of Ease Gill’s potential in particular and I hope to return to explore more extensively in the future. There is one steepish climb of about half a mile, which is why the walk earns an amber section but the compensation is that the last two miles, whilst on a tarmac lane/road are all downhill and there are some lovely views on the way. This being a moorland walk, there can be wet sections and gaiters are recommended. The walk starts from the large car park by St Peters Church in Leck.

  • The History of the Broadwood Site in Thornton in Lonsdale
    1 Preface The following account is designed to form part of the Kingsdale Head Archive compiled in 2007 by the Ingleborough Archaeology Group (hereafter referred to as the IAG). It is quite intensively referenced in the hope that it will provide a useful resource for those engaged in local research. It is not intended as a finished product, indeed much of the research is still ongoing, and we hope to incorporate this material into a wider environmental survey of Kingsdale, with contributions from other groups and individuals working in this area. Acknowledgements. I am indebted to many individuals and institutions for information, help and encouragement in this project, in particular to the Rare Book Archive section of Lancaster University Library, the Lancashire Record Office in Preston, the Yorkshire Archaeological Society (Leeds) the North Yorkshire County Record Office, Skipton and Kendal County Libraries and the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, to all of whom my thanks. 2 A History of Kingsdale in the Parish of Thornton in Lonsdale Descending into the valley of Kingsdale, across the glacial moraine that seals the entrance from the south, the length of the dale lies before you, flanked by the great limestone terraces of Gragareth to the west and to the east the greener slopes of Wackenburgh Hill and Whernside. There is a sense of remoteness in the valley, of being cut off from the outside world, but scramble up the side of Gragareth, cross the flat mosses of its summit and the wide panorama of Morecambe Bay unfolds, with its sea lanes to Ireland and the western isles of Scotland and, far below, the M6 motorway replacing the great Roman arterial road linking the south of England with the Scottish borders.

The dry passages of Witches II were first entered from the sump of Witches Cave by cave divers Jason Mallinson and Rick Stanton in the summer of 1997. They discovered a remarkable series of large dry passages which they eventually climbed up to within 17m of the fell surface. On a subsequent dive in 2010 they managed to place a radio transmitting beacon at the highest point which was located at the surface.
