Near Malham in the corner of a field lies the tiny
flower-filled Globe Flower Wood. From Malham village head north keeping Malham
Cove on your right. After a couple of miles bear left at a junction and then
the site is just before the next right turn to Arncliffe, adjacent to a cattle
grid. We parked on the road side just south of the site towards Malham. Too
late in the year for Globe Flowers, the small site which is viewed over the dry
stone wall is stuffed with stacks of wild flowers, including Meadowsweet, Great
Burnet and Water Avens. The Trust keeps the Willows and Sycamores from
spreading too much and this little gem shows what could be commonplace in the
Dales if the whole place was farmed differently. Visit in July for the Globe Flowers. A delightful little spot.
