Swaledale
One of the more remote northern dales, Swaledale runs west to east to the town of Richmond (from where the River Swale flows in to the northern end of the Vale of Mowbray).
Villages and hamlets in Swaledale include Reeth, Grinton, Low Row, Gunnerside, Muker, Thwaite and Keld. Waterfalls along the Swale in Swaledale include Richmond Falls at Richmond, and Kisdon Force near Thwaite.
Tributary valleys include Arkengarthdale - once the centre of a long deserted local lead mining industry.
From Thwaite and near the head of the dale the famous Buttertubs Pass leads up over the moors and down into Wensleydale. Another road from Keld leads north over the moors to Tan Hill - well known as the site of the highest public house in England.
