  14. Malham is a popular walkers' destination. • The rise in tourism over Malham's history has led to some deterioration of the area's surrounding paths as tourists wander off the paths and cause pockets of erosion, a process often called "footpath erosion". • The footpaths in the area are maintained by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority.

  15. The area is part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. • There are 15 National Parks in England and Wales, beautiful areas of mountains, meadows, moorlands, woods and wetlands. • They are areas of protected countryside that everyone can visit, and where people live, work and shape the landscape. • And each one has an organisation that looks after the landscape and wildlife and helps people enjoy and learn about the area.

  16. The Pennine Way is a 270 mile (440 km) footpath that goes from central England, along the Pennine mountains, to the Scottish border. • It passes through Malham.
