Barbondale runs from the Lune Valley near Kirkby Lonsdale along to Dent Dale in the Yorkshire Dales. Formerly the south-west end of Barbondale was in east Cumbria while the north-east part of Barbondale was in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is all now within the National Park, which extends into Cumbria. The stream is known as Barkin Beck, and flows south-west to join the River Lune.

I simply couldn't resist this delightful and immaculate old Daimler, spotted waiting for a wedding to be completed in the village of Dent in the Yorkshire Dales. The car was first registered on 17 February 1937 and is a Daimler Straight-Eight (4.624 litres), as then used by royalty. I am grateful to Dai777 for the information about the car.

Dent is a charming stone-built village in Dentdale, a narrow valley on the western slopes of the Pennines within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is about 4 miles south east of Sedbergh and about 8 miles north east of Kirkby Lonsdale. Dent was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. Both place name and dialect evidence indicate that this area was settled by Irish-Norse invaders in the 10th century.

The Carlisle-Settle railway runs along the end of Dent Dale in a series of cuttings and small viaducts before disappearing into a tunnel under Blea Moor and then re-emerging over the Ribblehead Viaduct. This was photographed near the delightfully-named Mossy Bottom, and is just a few miles from Dent Station - the highest railway station in England. The railway line dates from the 1870s and cost the lives of hundreds of navvies.
