The Field Centre is a wonderful Georgian country house with barns and a courtyard. It's set up a long track in woodland overlooking Malham Tarn. It's used as an education centre, running courses and nature walks.

Watersinks Car Park, Malham Tarn

Highlight • Parking

Best place to park for Malham Tarn. Easily enough space for 20+ cars, close to the Tarn, lots of public footpaths around the immediate vicinity, and well away from the clamour of Chapel Gate car park in Malham.
