How Stean Gorge is a deep wooded limestone ravine near the villages of Middlesmoor and Lofthouse in Upper Nidderdale.
A stream called the How Stean Beck flows along the bottom of How Stean Gorge, and there is also a small cave (called "Tom Taylor's Cave") which leads from the gorge to emerge in an adjacent field.
[N.B. For more information about caves and potholes in the Yorkshire Dales, please see the separate section on caving and potholing in the Yorkshire Dales.]
