MALHAM-MOOR, a township in Kirkby-in-Malham parish, W. R. Yorkshire; at the head of the river Aire, 5 miles NE of Settle. Acres, 8,880. Real property, £3,503. Pop., 115. Houses, 18. The manor belonged formerly to Fountains abbey. The surface is mountainous, and includes some grand scenery. Malham tarn, situated on high ground, is a lonely but beautiful lake, about a mile in diameter, well stocked with trout and perch; and was long, but erroneously, regarded as the source of the river Aire.
