Dentdale - Dentdale is a picturesque dale in the north west of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, in Cumbria. Dentdale takes it's name from the village of Dent rather than from the River Dee which runs westward through the dale.
Dentdale is on the Settle to Carlisle train line, which crosses the eastern end of the dale and features several impressive Victorian viaducts. The nearest station is Dent Station situated at a height of 1150 ft above sea level. The route links to mainline stations including Carlisle and Leeds, making it possible to reach London in under 4.5 hours.
The village of Dent is a charming cobbled village with a range of shops, cafes, school and other facilities and is the starting point of many beautiful walks. The nearest market town is Sedbergh which offers a larger variety of shops, cafes, restaurants and services and the world renowned Sedbergh School known for its strong ties to professional rugby.
This peaceful and largely undiscovered dale is an ideal retreat from city life and offers a wide range of outdoor recreational activity possibilities.
