Welcome to Dentdale
The valley of Dentdale in Cumbria and North Yorkshire, England, takes its
name from the village of Dent.
The Dent Fault runs along the valley, marking a geological boundary between
the carbonferous limestone of Deepdale and the Craven Dales to the south and
the older Silurian rocks of the Howgill Fells to the north.
The world famous Settle-Carlisle Railway cuts across the top of the dale at
Dent Head.
