Gordale Scar

Gordale Scar is a dramatic ravine through limestone close to Malham, Yorkshire, England.

Gordale Scar is a spectacular gorge, complete with waterfalls, cut right into the limestone hillside and has overhanging cliffs of limestone over 100m high. The gorge was produced by water from melting glaciers sometime over the last three million years. Gordale Scar is one of the highlights of any visit to Malham. The stream flowing through the scar is the River Aire.

Wordsworth wrote a sonnet about this vast chasm with its impressive waterfalls.
