Malham Tarn, a glacial lake just outside Malham, along with the surrounding wetlands were given National Nature Reserve status in 1992. Under the Ramsar Convention it was declared a wetland of international importance in 1993. The Tarn is home to perch and brown trout, with fly fishing of the trout allowed with a daily pass.[1]

The property consists of six farms and a National Nature Reserve around Malham Tarn.[1]
