A dale is a valley, especially an open, gently-sloping ground between low hills with a stream flowing through it.[1] It is used most frequently in the North of England and the Southern Uplands of Scotland; the term "fell" commonly refers to mountains or hills that flank a dale. As with many other words, dale was preserved by Viking influence in Northern England.[1]
It appears in various contexts, such as up hill and down dale "over every hill and dale", and "up all hills, down all dales.
