Lunedale

Lunedale is the dale, or valley, of the River Lune, on the east side of the Pennines in England, west of Middleton-in-Teesdale.

Lunedale is also the name of a civil parish which covers most of the north side of the dale.

[2] Most of the south side of the dale is in the civil parish of Mickleton.

Lunedale was historically in the North Riding of Yorkshire, but since 1974 has been in County Durham.

A former railway viaduct from the now-closed Barnard Castle to Middleton-in-Teesdale line crosses the River Lune just north of Mickleton.
