The walk up from Malham affords good views back to Malham Cove and the passes through varied farmland scenery. St Michael's Church at Kirkby Malham is worth a visit and the farm shop at Airton provides a good mid-walk stop for refreshments. The riverside path back provides further interest with views of Hanlith Hall, the old mill at Scalegill and Aire Head, which is the source of the River Aire.

A great circular walk from Malham village, taking in Janet's Cave / Foss, Gordale Scar, Malham Tarn, the limestone pavement at the top of Malham Cove and the cove itself before finishing back at the car.
