Bransdale is a valley running south through athe North Riding of Yorkshire, which is part of the North York Moors National Park.
This dale lies sandwiched between Bilsdale to the west and Farndale to the east: it is formed from the dales of Bransdale itself at the top of the valley, Sleightholmedale and Kirkdale. It carries a river called Hodge Beck[1] en route from Cockayne to the River Dove from Farndale three miles of Kirkbymoorside, which runs on into the Vale of Pickering and the River Rye.
