Janet's Foss

Loved this trail, a must if visiting Yorkshire in my eyes. It gets very busy so go early as car parking is a small area for £5.50 all day, or off road parking for free. We arrived about 12 on a Friday and it was so busy but we were so lucky to get a space and a day ticket off the people leaving, there is toilets and a refreshments here also.

Janets foss is stunning, and I've been wanting to come here for a while, she did not disappoint, crystal blue pool perfect to dip in, we did the full trail so went onto gordale scar this waterfall set in the limstone rocks is just amazing to see, take the extra 15 mins past the hot van stand to see it. We then walked along the tops towards Malham cove didn't see anyone in sight along there, we was off trail but took us straight onto the road down to the Cove trail, the views at the top looking down on Gordale and the surrounding area where beautiful. my daughter loved this part of the adventure was the best part she said. Big Harry Potter fan.

The trail took us 3&1/2 hours stopping off at all points for at lest 20 mins each time.

Our family consists of a 12 year old & a 5 year old Beagle, apart from the slippy stones at the top and all the steps down from the top at malham cove this trail is easy for all ages and abilities up until this point.

You can access Janets foss and Gordale following a back lane in the car and park on the road side by the hot van stand then walk to them both, JF 5 mins walk through the wood and GDS 15 mins in the other direction. Malham cove is also easily reached through the village on flat ground rather then doing the full trail.
