Malham Tarn

I booked a tramper wheelchair from the National Trust and collected it from the Malham Tarn estate office. We hardly saw any other people all morning and so it was exactly how I like to see nature. Skylarks were plentiful and added to the great experience.

A 'miles without stiles' ramble. If you love being out in the wilds but need a structured route this is for you, anything from a pushed wheelchair to an off road scooter will cope with it. Don't be tempted to cross the grass from the car park as the route sugests, even my off road scooter struggled. Go up the road to the track. It's a full on ramble, you need to be aware of the weather and no public transport but it's worth the effort.

This accessible route stars either at Watersinks car park - with the first section over undulating grass - or just up the road from an informal parking area in which case it follows a track all the way. It's an out and back outing so you can turn back anytime you like. Lovely views over the tarn. Good surface generally (when on the track) but robust wheels an advantage and indeed a necessity if using the grassy route from Watersinks.
