COMMUNITY SPIRIT IN DENTDALE

摘要

The picturesque valley of Dentdale is one of the most remote corners of the Yorkshire Dales. Until county boundaries were redrawn in 1974, it formed part of the West Riding of Yorkshire and now is in Cumbria.The valley is sparsely populated, with Dent station (at 1,150ft the highest main line station in England) on the Settle-Carlisle railway at its head and, located 5miles along the valley, the village of Dent. A further 5miles along the valley lies the town of Sedbergh (population 2,765) nestling beneath the Howgills. The main service town of Kendal is another 12miles away.
