Bransdale

Bransdale is a valley running south through North Yorkshire, England, and part of the North York Moors National Park.

Sandwiched between Bilsdale to the west and Farndale to the east,[1] it is formed from the dales of Bransdale itself at the top of the valley, Sleightholmedale and Kirkdale.

[1] Bransdale is also a civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England.

[3] Bransdale was historically divided between two ancient parishes.

Both civil parishes were abolished in 1934, and the new civil parish of Bransdale was formed from Bransdale Westside, the Bransdale part of Farndale Westside, and a part of the former civil parish of Farndale Low Quarter.
