My Holiday Expert

Day 2 of our holiday and even though it does not feel like  we have ventured out all that much, it definitely has been a very tiring day!! This morning we decided to travel the 5 miles from  www.thewoodlandshouse.co.uk to Malham Cove, with the drive up from Giggleswick being described as a rollercoaster ride along the roads by the kids in my car.

Such beautiful scenery and a lovely way to spend the day if holidaying here with dogs and children. This really is the perfect place if you are looking for a peaceful and scenic area, where you can partake in hiking, dog walking and tiring out the children.

Standing some 80 metres high and 300 metres wide and north of the mid craven fault, Malham Cove is a curved crag of carboniferous limestone formed after the last ice age. Meltwater, particularly from Malham Tarn, cut back the cove as it fell over the edge as a waterfall. This erosion took place more actively at the lip of the fall rather than at the sides, hence the curved shape………http://www.malhamdale.org.uk/malham_cove.htm

Tonight is looking to be a barbecue night, so we are keeping our fingers crossed that the weather holds off!! Then tomorrow it all starts again..!
