In physical geography, a dale is an open valley. The name occurs particularly frequently in the Lowlands of Scotland and in the North of England, where the term "fell" commonly refers to the mountains or hills that flank the dale.
The word dale comes from Old English dael, and is related to Old Norse dalr, which may perhaps have influenced its survival in northern England. [1] Dale is equivalent to the word valley, which entered the English language after the Norman Conquest. Semantic equivalency to polish word (na) dole and norwegian (na) dal (pl. daler) suggest common indoeuropean affinity. Norwegian towns frequently use this term: dalekvam, dale.
