You can enjoy either two shorter circular walks, or a longer one of approximately 10 miles through the spectacular limestone scenery of the Malham area finding these caches along the way. Most of the caches contain the usual items PLUS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION so that you can find out more about the geology of this interesting and beautiful area.
The cache is sited on the eastern side of the very impressive Watlowes Dry Valley offering a commanding view of the valley and surrounding limestone scenery. Further information about the valley and how it was formed is provided in the cache.
