Smardale
Smardale is a small village in Cumbria, England, in the civil parish of Waitby.
==Geography and history==
The village of Smardale lies in hilly agricultural land at a height of around 1.75 km southeast of Crosby Garrett and 3.5 km west of Kirkby Stephen. To the south is Smardale fell whilst a boundary is formed to the west by Scandal Beck which flows from Smardalegill, a narrow valley to the southwest.
The name Smaredale may derive from ''smere'', an ancient name for clover, or from the old Norse or old English for butter/fat/grease giving either ''valley of butter'' or ''valley of clover''.
Chapel well, a Holy well, is found west of Scandal Beck where it once stood within Smardale church. There are also other signs of ancient human activity: the archeological remains of settlements are found on Smardale fell, and around Smardalegill, pillow mounds, known locally as 'Giant's graves' which are thought by some to be for drying bracken, and not for rabbits. Oxenbrow wood, to the north of Smardale village is the site of a Heronry.
