Bryson has references the village in his books and has been quoted as saying “I won’t know for sure if Malhamdale is the finest place there is until I have died and seen heaven but until that day comes, it will certainly do.” He’s also mentioned a favourite view –looking towards Malham Cove from the road out of Kirkby Malham, which is a view you’ll be able to enjoy on this drive!
