Woodale is a hamlet in Coverdale in the Yorkshire Dales in England. It lies in the civil parish of Carlton Highdale in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire.[1] The River Cover flows nearby.[2]
The name Woodale stems from Old English and means Valley of the Wolves.[3]
The hamlet should not be confused with the even smaller settlement of Woodale in the parish of Stonebeck Up in upper Nidderdale. The two places are only 4 miles (6 km) apart.[4]
