	Gordale Scar near Malham, Yorkshire
		A great limestone gorge near Malham some 400 feet (150 m) deep, Gordale Scar is a spectacular feature of the Craven Fault and believed by many geologists to be the remains of a huge underground cavern whose roof collapsed around the time of the last ice age.
		Gordale Beck cascades down the ravine in two separate waterfalls, the second of which pours through a natural arch in the rock above the first.
		Gordale Scar is undeniably impressive, and is the subject of a famous painting by Turner entitled "Gordale Scar" (circa 1816) - which is presently in the Turner Collection of the Tate Britain museum in London.

		Gordale Scar in Malhamdale in the Yorkshire Dales
		To the north of the Mid Craven Fault in the Malham Formation is Gordale Scar, which was carved as a meltwater channel beneath the Devensian ice-sheet.
		Raistrick (1947) noticed that excess calcite in solution in the stream often produces a rich crop of 'cave-pearls' in many of the pools, small smooth pebbles commonly the size of a pea, built up on concentric layers of deposited calcite, and water-polished on the outside to a pearly texture.

	A Yorkshire Dales Walk - Malham Cove, Malham Tarn and Gordale Scar Walk
		Gordale Scar greets the visitor from Gordale Bridge with a welcoming wide entry flanked by the two cliffs of New Close Knotts to the left and Cross Field Knotts to the right.
		The further up into the scar one goes the closer the flanks become until suddenly the easy path is ahead is barred by the lower of two waterfalls.
		Most people immediately recall the lower waterfall when thinking of Gordale Scar but I personally find the upper waterfall more spectacular as it powerfully gushes out of the side of the east cliff face.

		Gordale Scar near Malham in Yorkshire is an impressively oppressive location.
		Entering the gorge you round a corner into a cove where the walls above you loom high above and at the far end a waterfall cascades from a hole cut through the very rock itself (gushing high above the top of this photograph) It is not somewhere you would want to be at night.
		I visited Gordale Scar last year and took quite a few handheld digital photographs, and regretted afterwards that I didn't bother to use my tripod to get a decent shot.

	Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority - Yorkshire Moors and Fells Character Areas
		The geology of the limestone moors and pavements is dominated by the Great Scar Limestone, which comprises a number of layers of limestone beds of varying thickness and hardness and up to 200m in overall depth.
		Of a similar age is the Cove Limestone, which forms the spectacular cliff at Malham Cove, the lower half of Gordale Scar and the brow of Kilnsey Crag.
		Weathering of the Great Scar Limestone allows a surface patina to develop on the exposed cliffs and crags, giving them their characteristic white colour.

	Gordale Scar by WARD, James
		James Ward tried to express his own emotionally charged faith through a masterpiece of natural observation, his gigantic Gordale Scar finished in 1813.
		The encircling amphitheatre of the Scar becomes a microcosm, and the beasts who graze or lock antlers before it - few of which had actually roamed there since much earlier times - emphasize its primordial state.
		The white bull who watches over them is probably a very contemporary mark of British resolve in the face of Napoleonic attack.

		The really impressive sights on the walk (Malham Cove, Gordale Scar, Malham Tarn) are all easily accessible from the road and are on good paths, it is well worth the short walk to see any of these.

	Gordale Scar Camp Site , Skipton Campsite review
		At one end of the campsite you have Gordale Scar, a rock face which is on a main footpath though dales, easy climbing.
		But to be fair the campsite while rowdy at first, had quietened down down by 11ish, and there didn't seem to be too much drunken behaviour, just people relaxing after a working week.
		The footpath running straight through the middle has already been mentioned, and it is a security concern as it's a very popular path (the only way in and out of Gordale Scar, unless you climb the waterfall), and hundreds of people will pass by your tent if you're there at the weekend.

		Gordale is vastly different from most of Yorkshire's dales in so far as its sides are steep and precipitous and appear much like the canyon lands of North America.
