Holiday Cottages in Dentdale

The spectacular beauty of the Yorkshire Dales can hold its own against the most magnificent landscapes in the world. Mountains, moorlands and valleys are dotted with farmhouses, fields full of peacefully grazing sheep and craggy outcrops just begging to be climbed. Consisting of several villages, including Dent and Cowgill, Dentdale is in the north west of the Yorkshire Dales which is, confusingly, in Cumbria. It is simple to reach from the M6 and the A1 and is to the south of Sedbergh. At 1,150 feet above sea level, Dent Station holds the honour of being the highest mainline train station in England.
