Malham is a village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England. In the Domesday Book, the name is given as Malgun, meaning "settlement by the gravelly places". Until 1974 it was part of the Settle Rural District, in the historic West Riding of Yorkshire. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Craven, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. In 2001 the parish had a population of approximately 150. Malham parish increased in size geographically (to include Malham Moor) and so at the 2011 Census had a population of 238. Malham lies at the upper end of the valley of the River Aire, known above Airton as Malhamdale, in the Yorkshire Dales. The surrounding countryside is well known for its limestone pavements and other examples of limestone scenery. Tourist attractions include Malham Tarn, Malham Cove, Gordale Scar, Janet's Foss and the Dry Valley. In the 1950s the village gave its name to a Ham class minesweeper, HMS Malham.

Lister Arms

The Lister Arms is a historic public house in Malham, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The inn was built in 1723, while in the early 19th century it was heightened, and the windows were altered. The barn and stable range, to the left, was later converted to provide more accommodation. The bar area has stone floors and fireplaces, while the restaurant area has wooden floors and original fireplaces and beams. The pub claimed in 2022 to sell 12,000 steak and ale pies each year. The building was Grade II listed in 1958. The building is constructed of stone, the left gable rendered, with quoins and a stone slate roof. The main block has three storeys and two bays. The doorway has plain pilasters and a cornice, and above it is a datestone with initials and a wine glass. The windows have raised surrounds; on the ground floor they are sashes, and above they date from the 20th century. To the left is a two-storey former barn and stable range that has been altered, and at the rear is a lean-to with a re-set moulded lintel dated 1702.

Friar Garth Farmhouse

Friar Garth Farmhouse is a Grade II listed building in Malham, North Yorkshire, England. It was listed as an historic site by English Heritage on 13 September 1988. In the 13th century, Malham belonged to the monks of Fountains Abbey, who controlled the land west of Malham Beck, and Bolton Priory who controlled the east. Friar Garth was built in Malham East in the late 16th century for the bailiff (or steward) of Bolton Priory. It also housed the Priory's sheepfolds, stack yard, and tithe barn. At the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536, the estates of Bolton Priory were bought by the Lambert family and afterwards divided into smaller farms, of which Friar Garth was one. Since that time, although the building style has changed, the layout of Malham has remained much the same. Friar Garth itself is now divided into four separate houses and is no longer a working farm.
