Limestone pavement above Malham Cove
Yorkshire Dales, UK
Limestone pavement above Malham Cove has been deeply eroded by acid rain leaving clints (lumps of limestone) and grykes (the gaps in between). Grykes provide habitat for many rare or unusual plants such as hart's tongue ferns and enchanters nightshade. This 250 ft plus ancient outcrop of curved limestone cliffs in Yorkshire Dales, UK was once the location of a spectacular waterfall though today there is only a small beck or tarn flowing from the base. The area is species rich and managed as a National Nature Reserve.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This stunning print captures the mesmerizing aftermath of acid rain, revealing clints and grykes that resemble a whimsical puzzle for nature to solve. Within these enchanting gaps lie hidden treasures - rare plants like hart's tongue ferns and enchanters nightshade find solace amidst this ancient outcrop. Once home to a majestic waterfall, now only a gentle beck or tarn trickles from its base, adding an air of tranquility to this scenic wonderland. This 250 ft plus curved limestone cliff stands as a testament to the resilience of nature in Yorkshire Dales. Its crags and scars tell tales of centuries past while providing refuge for countless species. Recognized as a National Nature Reserve, it is meticulously managed to preserve its rich biodiversity.
