    Tips

    August 17, 2019

    A picturesque valley in the Yorkshire Dales, Dentdale runs from Dent Head along the River Dee. Dentdale has many interesting stones and rocks such as Limestone and Silurian and Ordovician rocks. In the upper part of the dale, the Upper Dentdale Cave System runs 2 miles (3.2 km) beneath the valley floor. The area is also rich in marble; Dent Marble, a highly polished Black Limestone, was mined here from 1760 until 1909.

    Today, the area is popular with hikers and cyclists who come to explore the area's beauty. There are over 200 listed buildings including railway viaducts, barns, farmhouses, and even a telephone box.
