| Sadly after 75 years of excellent courses the Field Sutdies Council has decided to cease running courses at Malham Tarn Field Centre. This is a tremendous loss. Tens of thousands - maybe well over 100,000 people or 150,000 have stayed there over the years. Many universities carried out research whilst they were there. |
