History[edit]
Chapel-le-Dale lies between the two highest mountains in Yorkshire; Ingleborough to the south, and Whernside to the north. The dale has several names, most are tied to the rivers in the dale, with Doedale[note 1] and Upper Gretadale common terms for the area.[4] One book discusses the prevalence of caving areas in Upper Gretadale (Weathercote Cave, Gingle Pot, Hurtle Pot, Gatekirk),[5]
Etymology[edit]
The dale has various names, as it extends from Ribblehead Viaduct westwards to Ingleton, and is drained by Winterburn Beck, Chapel Beck, the River Doe, and becoming the River Great at Ingleton. As such it is known as Chapeldale, Chapel le Dale, Chapel-le-Dale, Doedale, Twistletondale, and Upper Gretadale.[6][3] In addition, the river through Chapel-le-Dale was historically also known as Ingleton Beck (and that through adjacent Kingsdale as Thornton Beck).[7]
