View of Warrendale Knotts

Highlight • Natural Monument

Warrendale Knotts is a group of rocky limestone knolls that sit overlooking Settle and Langcliffe, just to the west of Attermire Scar. Although it is not very high at 1,476 feet (450 m), it is interesting, and it makes for a good ramble or even a scramble, if you are that way inclined.

The dry valleys between Malham Tarn and Malham cove are exiting to run up or down. The river flows underground here but used to flow through theses valleys before falling off Malham Cove in a huge waterfall.
