	Malham to Dale Head
		Malham Beck, a crystal stream if ever there was one, issues from a tiny slit at the base of the cliff and wanders southwards to the village, not quite a mile away, through emerald green pastures so typical of limestone country.
		Malham Tarn itself, a strange anomaly in limestone country, is fringed with beautiful woodlands and is itself backed by the limestone cliffs of the North Craven fault.
		The top of Malham Cove is an area of limestone pavement, or karst, and generations of geography classes in Britain will have had this very spot ingrained on their memories as the best known example.

	Reporter 480, 22 April 2002 - New age established for Malham Cove
		Malham Cove is a 'step' formed by glaciers and waterfalls.
		So the speleothem discovered in the Malham cave system must have been formed during a warm period between the glaciation which formed the cove and another which deposited the silt.
		It also proves that the initial formation of Malham Cove must have taken place over 50,000 years ago, predating the last ice age and the warm period known to precede it.
