Dale (landform)
A dale is an open valley. The name is used when describing the physical geography of an area. It is used most 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 the Old English word ''dael'', from which the word "dell" is also derived. It is also related to Old Norse word ''dalr'' (and the modern Icelandic word ''dalur''), which may perhaps have influenced its survival in northern England.〔''Oxford English Dictionary''〕 ''Dale'' is a synonym to the word ''valley'', which entered the English language after the Norman Conquest. Norwegian towns frequently use this term: ''dalekvam'', ''dale''.
There is semantic equivalency to many words and phrases, suggesting a common Indo-European affinity. Vale and thalweg are also related.
