Teesdale
Teesdale is a dale, or valley, of the east side of the Pennines in England. Large parts of Teesdale fall within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) - the second largest AONB in England and Wales. The River Tees rises below Cross Fell, the highest hill (2,930 feet O.D.) in the Pennines, and its uppermost valley is remote and high. The local climate was scientifically classified as "Sub-Arctic" and snow has sometimes lain on Cross Fell into June (there is an alpine ski area Yad Moss). 〔http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/conservation/designations/aonb/northpennines.aspx〕〔http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/skiing-yad-moss-the-st-moritz-of-the-north-1290605.html〕
==Geology==
Unusually for the Pennines, rock of igneous origin, the Whin Sill contributes to the surface geology and scenery of Teesdale. Around 295 million years ago upwelling magma spread through fissures and between strata in the earlier Carboniferous Limestone country rock.
Economic deposits in Llandovery rocks include slate pencils.
More recently, Ice Age glacial activity shaped the valley, and much of the pre-glacial river course is now buried beneath glacial drift.
