Malham Tarn

For this visit we will use the car park at the southern end of the tarn, GR SD895657. We are hoping for better weather than previous years so that we can reach the boardwalk across the fen to the north of the tarn. On the way we will pass through different habitats with totally different flora. We start across grassland, then go onto the track between two parts of Ha Mire and finally into mixed woodland leading to the Field centre. Before reaching the boardwalk we can visit the bird hide for views across the tarn. Once on the boardwalk we must keep to the path. We will retrace our steps back to the car park, a total distance of about 4 miles but fairly easy walking. Toilets will be accessed in main car park in Malham.
