    So weird, I was only there on Wednesday (22/9/21)
    Most people do the walk along from the village, Malham to the base of the rockface. It's very weird how the water from above seeps through the rock and comes out at the base. During exceptional rainfall, the lake at the top, called Malham Tarn overflows from the top and it becomes a proper waterfall.
    Literally only happened once in living memory for the locals of Malham. Last time was during Storm Desmond in 2015. Before that, the 19th Century and possibly 1720.
    The area became more popular after the limestone, crazy paving section at the top was used as a filming location in the last Harry Potter movie.
    Edit:
    Gotta visit the Brimham Rocks next, just the other side of Pateley Bridge, from your visit to Coldstones Cut.

    One time when I went to Malham with the family, we watched people practicing for the upcoming free climbing championships there. Absolutely terrifying to watch, but very impressive. I think the fastest ascent was about 5 minutes from bottom to top!
    It looks like you missed Janet's Foss, just down the valley with its cave behind the waterfall (when it has been raining - right now it's likely to be dry enough for easy access). In spring, the valley leading to it is full of delicious wild garlic, so smells amazing! Go back in 6 months.
    Also, the 'h' in Malham isn't pronounced, it's Mall'm, like Callum. Also like Balham: ua-cam.com/video/bVCkvheedWA/v-deo.html "Malham, Gateway to the North!"

    However, this sculpture was overwhelmingly accepted. Beauty wins the day.

    Was great to see you in Malham Jack, its kinda my stomping ground if you will, its a truly beautiful & has plenty to offer. As many comments have stated already, you should definitely go back in summer, the walks are stunning, many waterfalls to admire, there's even the privilege of catering/cafe vans perfectly placed throughout the hikes (Great cuppa & sandwich ).
    Beautiful little Malham village, superb ice cream shop 😊.
    Lake District/ Cumbria is very close to my heart as Ingleton was a place of residence for about 7 years, Windermere, Barrow, Kirkby Lonsdale (known for Devils Bridge) Bentham both higher & Lower are all places i have friends. Kendal, Lancaster and Heysham are also amazing places of interest history wise also but I imagine you visit them often. Lake Coniston was a favourite camping holiday when growing up and I also kept up that tradition by taking my children there so they could enjoy everything I was lucky too 😊

    That cove is quite the geological feature, very cool. Personally I also liked the sculpture. Though found it odd that someone might call it an eyesore when it sits right next to freaking quarry! To each their own, etc. Any chance this quarry is the one where they found the petrified tree from your other video? I was thinking that the geology looked like the kind of ancient sediment layers that might produce fossils... (I mean, I took one (1) geology class a loooong time ago so 🤷🏻‍♀️ )

    Beautiful ❤. Like you've said in previous videos you don't know what's on your doorstep. I need to explore our own Country. As for the sculpture I agree about the reproductive system idea. I think that it's the designer deliberately sticking two fingers up to the Establishment and getting this in under the wire lol. Art is subjective like you say but this will last for Centuries. It makes me laugh that they want it pulled down but are ok with a quarry. But compare this piece of Art to say 'The Unmade Bed'. There is no comparison. Thanks for the video. Would never have seen this without you so thank you. One thing, Chocolate? Where is the Egg Butty?
