Dent Village Walk | The Yorkshire Dales

If you enjoy this relaxing walk, please leave a comment..always interested in what you think of these walks and tours! Historically, Dent was part of the Ewecross wapentake in the West Riding of Yorkshire. From 1894 to 1974 it was part of Sedbergh Rural District. In 1974 it became part of the new county of Cumbria. The origin of the name is debated. Older forms include Denet (1200). It may have been taken from the hill now known as Dent Crag (2,250 ft), to be compared with another hill named Dent near Cleator in Cumberland, in which case it would derive from a pre-English Celtic term related to Old Irish dinn, dind "a hill". Alternative derivations see the name preserving the memory of the dark age kingdom known in Latin as Regione Dunutinga, founded and named after King Dunot the Great of the North Pennines. Both place name and dialect evidence indicate that this area was settled by the Norse in the 10th century. Geoffrey Hodgson, in 2008, argued that this invasion accounts for the high frequency of the Hodgson surname in the area. Dent was the birthplace of Thomas de Dent, Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, in the early 14th century. Dent was the birthplace of the geologist Adam Sedgwick in 1785. Dentdale was one of the last Yorkshire Dales to be enclosed, Dent's Enclosure Award being made in 1859. ⭐Please Subscribe To Help My Channel https://bit.ly/3fLVjed ⭐ ⭐ See 'Playlists' Below - Subscribe To See More Villages, Countryside & Nature Walks 🥾 The Lake District Cumbria http://bitly.ws/LQIw Yorkshire Dales National Park https://bit.ly/3LulSAE English Villages https://bit.ly/3zb3054 Abandoned Houses & Ruins Walks https://bit.ly/3Ag8P1F Yorkshire County England https://bit.ly/3LCSBS4 Lancashire County England https://bit.ly/3wOHmAu Relaxing Forrest Walks https://bit.ly/3GjfxF4 Relaxing River & Canal Walks https://bit.ly/3z0sim7 Places & Destinations Walks https://bit.ly/3wLhmWW Relaxing Walks & Hikes https://bit.ly/3sTBTHM Walks With Relaxing Music https://bit.ly/3LHcuri 🥾 Check Out My Walk https://strava.app.link/Quxw3Bg8Nxb Casual relaxed walks around the beautiful UK.
