More Information
Hidden within a wooded valley on the North York Moors, Mallyan Spout is one of Yorkshire’s most striking natural landmarks. The waterfall plunges nearly 70 feet over a rugged cliff into a quiet woodland gorge near the village of Goathland, creating a dramatic scene shaped by water, rock, and ancient forest.
Formed over thousands of years as water carved its way through layers of sandstone and shale, the falls have long been a favourite destination for walkers exploring the surrounding moorland and valleys. The path down to the base of the waterfall winds through dense woodland, where the sound of rushing water grows louder before the full height of the cascade comes into view.
Located on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, the area around Mallyan Spout is rich in wildlife and natural beauty. The nearby village of Goathland, famous for its historic railway station and scenic setting, has long served as a gateway for visitors seeking the peaceful landscapes of this part of Yorkshire.
Today, Mallyan Spout remains one of the most memorable natural sights in the region, where the power of falling water and the quiet of the surrounding woodland combine to create a truly atmospheric Yorkshire landscape.
