The '''Yorkshire Dales''' are an upland area of the [[Pennines]] in England. Most of the area is in the [[Ceremonial counties of England|county]] of [[North Yorkshire]], but it extends into [[Cumbria]] and a small part of [[Lancashire]]. It was [[Historic counties of England|historically]] entirely within [[Yorkshire]]. The majority of the Dales are part of the [[Yorkshire Dales National Park]], created in 1954.<ref>{{cite web |title=Yorkshire Dales Area |url=http://www.yorkshire.com/places/yorkshire-dales |access-date=25 April 2013 |website=Yorkshire.com}}</ref> The exception is the area around [[Nidderdale]], which forms the separate [[Nidderdale AONB|Nidderdale]] [[Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty]].
The landscape of the Dales consists of sheltered [[glacial valley]]s separated by exposed [[moorland]].<ref name=":0">{{cite web |last=England |first=Natural |title=National Character Area Profile: 21.

Agriculture and other land management has significantly affected the appearance of the Dales, through the creation of pastures and meadows for livestock grazing and moorland for [[red grouse]] shooting.

==Etymology==
The word ''[[Dale (landform)|dale]]'', like ''dell'', is derived from the Old English word ''dæl''. It has cognates in the [[North Germanic languages|Nordic]]/[[Germanic languages|Germanic]] words for valley (''dal'', ''tal''), and occurs in valley names across Yorkshire and Northern England.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Ekwall|first1=Eilert|title=The concise Oxford dictionary of English place-names|date=1960|publisher=Clarendon Press|location=Oxford|isbn=0-19-869103-3|page=138|edition=4}}</ref> Usage here may have been reinforced by Nordic languages during the time of the [[Danelaw]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Booth|first1=Michael|title=The Almost Nearly Perfect People|date=2015|publisher=Vintage Books|location=London|isbn=9780099546078|page=9|edition=1|chapter=Introduction}}</ref>
Most of the dales are named after their river or stream (e.g., [[Arkengarthdale]], formed by [[Arkle Beck]]). The best-known exception is [[Wensleydale]], which is named after the small village and former market town of [[Wensley, North Yorkshire|Wensley]], rather than the [[River Ure]], although an older name for the dale is Yoredale.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Rhea|first1=Nicholas|title=Why call it Wensleydale?|url=http://www.darlingtonandstocktontimes.co.uk/weekend/countrymansdiary/8620446.Why_call_it_Wensleydale_/|access-date=10 April 2018|work=Darlington and Stockton Times|date=5 November 2010}}</ref> River valleys all over [[Yorkshire]] are called "(name of river)+[[Valley|dale]]"—but only the more northern valleys (and only the upper, rural, reaches) are included in the term "The Dales".<ref>{{cite web|title=Yorkshire Dales guide – where, how and what|url=http://www.yorkshiredales.net/guide/|website=yorkshiredales.net|access-date=10 April 2018}}</ref>
==Geography==
{{See also|List of Yorkshire Dales}}
The Yorkshire Dales are surrounded by the [[North Pennines]] and [[Orton Fells]] in the north, the Vales of [[Vale of York|York]] and [[Vale of Mowbray|Mowbray]] in the east, the [[South Pennines]] in the south, and the [[Lake District]] and [[Howgill Fells]] to the west. They spread to the north from the market and [[spa town]]s of [[Settle, North Yorkshire|Settle]], [[Skipton]], and [[Harrogate]] in North Yorkshire, to the southern boundary in [[Wharfedale]] and [[Airedale]]. [[Natural England]] define the area as most of the [[Yorkshire Dales National Park]] with fringes of the [[Nidderdale AONB]], but without the towns listed above apart from Settle.{{sfn|NE 21|2013|p=3}}
The lower reaches of Airedale and Wharfedale are not usually included in the area, and [[Calderdale]], south of [[Airedale]] and in the South Pennines, is not often considered part of the Dales (even though it is a dale, is in Yorkshire, and its upper reaches are as scenic and rural as many further north).<ref>{{cite web|title=The Dales – Yorkshire Dales|url=http://www.yorkshiredales.co.uk/the-dales/|website=yorkshiredales.co.uk|access-date=10 April 2018}}</ref> Additionally, although the National Park includes the Howgill Fells and Orton Fells,<ref>{{cite web |last=Pidd |first=Helen |date=1 August 2016 |title=Yorkshire Dales expand into Lancashire in national parks land grab |url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/aug/01/yorkshire-dales-expand-lancashire-national-parks-extension-leck-fell |access-date=20 January 2019 |work=The Guardian}}</ref> they are not usually considered part of the Dales.
[[File:Yorkshire Dales (near Malham).jpg|thumb|A view near [[Malham]], on the [[Pennine Bridleway]]]]
Most of the larger southern dales – Ribblesdale, Malhamdale and Airedale, Wharfedale and Nidderdale – run roughly parallel from north to south. The more northerly dales – Wensleydale and [[Swaledale]] – run generally from west to east.{{sfn|NE 21|2013|p=25}} There are many other smaller or lesser-known dales such as [[Arkengarthdale]], [[Bishopdale, North Yorkshire|Bishopdale]], Clapdale, [[Coverdale (dale)|Coverdale]], [[Kingsdale]], [[Littondale]], [[Langstrothdale]], [[Raydale]] [[Waldendale]] and the [[Washburn Valley]] whose tributary streams and rivers feed into the larger valleys, and [[Barbondale]], [[Dentdale]], [[Deepdale]] and [[Garsdale]] which feed west to the [[River Lune]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Chrystal|first1=Paul|title=The Place Names of Yorkshire; Cities, Towns, Villages, Rivers and Dales, some Pubs too, in Praise of Yorkshire Ales|date=2017|publisher=Stenlake|location=Catrine|isbn=9781840337532|pages=102–104|edition=1}}</ref>

New page wikitext, after the edit (new_wikitext ) | '==Etymology==
The word ''[[Dale (landform)|dale]]'', like ''dell'', is derived from the Old English word ''dæl''. It has cognates in the [[North Germanic languages|Nordic]]/[[Germanic languages|Germanic]] words for valley (''dal'', ''tal''), and occurs in valley names across Yorkshire and Northern England.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Ekwall|first1=Eilert|title=The concise Oxford dictionary of English place-names|date=1960|publisher=Clarendon Press|location=Oxford|isbn=0-19-869103-3|page=138|edition=4}}</ref> Usage here may have been reinforced by Nordic languages during the time of the [[Danelaw]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Booth|first1=Michael|title=The Almost Nearly Perfect People|date=2015|publisher=Vintage Books|location=London|isbn=9780099546078|page=9|edition=1|chapter=Introduction}}</ref>
Most of the dales are named after their river or stream (e.g., [[Arkengarthdale]], formed by [[Arkle Beck]]). The best-known exception is [[Wensleydale]], which is named after the small village and former market town of [[Wensley, North Yorkshire|Wensley]], rather than the [[River Ure]], although an older name for the dale is Yoredale.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Rhea|first1=Nicholas|title=Why call it Wensleydale?|url=http://www.darlingtonandstocktontimes.co.uk/weekend/countrymansdiary/8620446.Why_call_it_Wensleydale_/|access-date=10 April 2018|work=Darlington and Stockton Times|date=5 November 2010}}</ref> River valleys all over [[Yorkshire]] are called "(name of river)+[[Valley|dale]]"—but only the more northern valleys (and only the upper, rural, reaches) are included in the term "The Dales".<ref>{{cite web|title=Yorkshire Dales guide – where, how and what|url=http://www.yorkshiredales.net/guide/|website=yorkshiredales.net|access-date=10 April 2018}}</ref>
==Geography==
{{See also|List of Yorkshire Dales}}
The Yorkshire Dales are surrounded by the [[North Pennines]] and [[Orton Fells]] in the north, the Vales of [[Vale of York|York]] and [[Vale of Mowbray|Mowbray]] in the east, the [[South Pennines]] in the south, and the [[Lake District]] and [[Howgill Fells]] to the west. They spread to the north from the market and [[spa town]]s of [[Settle, North Yorkshire|Settle]], [[Skipton]], and [[Harrogate]] in North Yorkshire, to the southern boundary in [[Wharfedale]] and [[Airedale]]. [[Natural England]] define the area as most of the [[Yorkshire Dales National Park]] with fringes of the [[Nidderdale AONB]], but without the towns listed above apart from Settle.{{sfn|NE 21|2013|p=3}}
The lower reaches of Airedale and Wharfedale are not usually included in the area, and [[Calderdale]], south of [[Airedale]] and in the South Pennines, is not often considered part of the Dales (even though it is a dale, is in Yorkshire, and its upper reaches are as scenic and rural as many further north).<ref>{{cite web|title=The Dales – Yorkshire Dales|url=http://www.yorkshiredales.co.uk/the-dales/|website=yorkshiredales.co.uk|access-date=10 April 2018}}</ref> Additionally, although the National Park includes the Howgill Fells and Orton Fells,<ref>{{cite web |last=Pidd |first=Helen |date=1 August 2016 |title=Yorkshire Dales expand into Lancashire in national parks land grab |url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/aug/01/yorkshire-dales-expand-lancashire-national-parks-extension-leck-fell |access-date=20 January 2019 |work=The Guardian}}</ref> they are not usually considered part of the Dales.
[[File:Yorkshire Dales (near Malham).jpg|thumb|A view near [[Malham]], on the [[Pennine Bridleway]]]]
Most of the larger southern dales – Ribblesdale, Malhamdale and Airedale, Wharfedale and Nidderdale – run roughly parallel from north to south. The more northerly dales – Wensleydale and [[Swaledale]] – run generally from west to east.{{sfn|NE 21|2013|p=25}} There are many other smaller or lesser-known dales such as [[Arkengarthdale]], [[Bishopdale, North Yorkshire|Bishopdale]], Clapdale, [[Coverdale (dale)|Coverdale]], [[Kingsdale]], [[Littondale]], [[Langstrothdale]], [[Raydale]] [[Waldendale]] and the [[Washburn Valley]] whose tributary streams and rivers feed into the larger valleys, and [[Barbondale]], [[Dentdale]], [[Deepdale]] and [[Garsdale]] which feed west to the [[River Lune]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Chrystal|first1=Paul|title=The Place Names of Yorkshire; Cities, Towns, Villages, Rivers and Dales, some Pubs too, in Praise of Yorkshire Ales|date=2017|publisher=Stenlake|location=Catrine|isbn=9781840337532|pages=102–104|edition=1}}</ref>

Much of the rural area is used for agriculture, with residents living in small villages and hamlets or in farmsteads. Miles of dry-stone walls and much of the traditional architecture have remained,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.yorkshirenet.co.uk/yorkshire-dales/landscape/|title=Yorkshire Dales, Northern England – landscape and history|work=Yorkshire Net|access-date=14 July 2018}}</ref> including some field barns, though many are no longer in active use.

==Etymology==
The word ''[[Dale (landform)|dale]]'', like ''dell'', is derived from the Old English word ''dæl''. It has cognates in the [[North Germanic languages|Nordic]]/[[Germanic languages|Germanic]] words for valley (''dal'', ''tal''), and occurs in valley names across Yorkshire and Northern England.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Ekwall|first1=Eilert|title=The concise Oxford dictionary of English place-names|date=1960|publisher=Clarendon Press|location=Oxford|isbn=0-19-869103-3|page=138|edition=4}}</ref> Usage here may have been reinforced by Nordic languages during the time of the [[Danelaw]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Booth|first1=Michael|title=The Almost Nearly Perfect People|date=2015|publisher=Vintage Books|location=London|isbn=9780099546078|page=9|edition=1|chapter=Introduction}}</ref>

<p>The word <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Dale_(landform)" title="Dale (landform)">dale</a></i>, like <i>dell</i>, is derived from the Old English word <i>dæl</i>. It has cognates in the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/North_Germanic_languages" title="North Germanic languages">Nordic</a>/<a href="/enwiki/wiki/Germanic_languages" title="Germanic languages">Germanic</a> words for valley (<i>dal</i>, <i>tal</i>), and occurs in valley names across Yorkshire and Northern England.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup> Usage here may have been reinforced by Nordic languages during the time of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Danelaw" title="Danelaw">Danelaw</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup>
</p><p>Most of the dales are named after their river or stream (e.g., <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Arkengarthdale" title="Arkengarthdale">Arkengarthdale</a>, formed by <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Arkle_Beck" title="Arkle Beck">Arkle Beck</a>).
