Eskeleth is a hamlet in Arkengarthdale in North Yorkshire, England. It is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. As with all places in Arkengarthdale, there is no record for the location in the Domesday Book. The first element in the name seems to be the Common Brythonic word Isca, which probably meant 'water' or 'fish' (Compare River Esk). The second element could be the Cumbric llaith meaning 'damp' or 'moist' (Compare Leith). The first element could also be Old Norse *Eski-, 'ash tree'. Eskeleth sits 4 miles from the village of Reeth.
