A sheepfold in Birkdale

Birkdale (sometimes written out as Birk Dale) is a dale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, in North Yorkshire, England.[1] It lies at the far western end of Swaledale, close to the border with Cumbria. The dale is one of the smallest of the Yorkshire Dales.[2] The hamlet of Birkdale is in the lower part of the dale, Шаблон:Convert west of Keld. The area forms part of the civil parish of Muker.[3]

Birkdale Tarn is north of the hamlet of Birkdale across the B6270 road at a height of Шаблон:Convert above sea level.[4] The tarn covers and area of Шаблон:Convert and has an average depth of Шаблон:Convert.[5] the tarn has been heavily modified, being a smaller upland lake that was converted into a larger body of water to ensure a constant supply of water for the lead industry in the area.[6]

Birkdale Beck flows through the dale draining an upland area of Шаблон:Convert. At the eastern end of the dale the beck joins Great Sleddale Beck to become the River Swale.[7][8] The dale suffered depopulation in the 1960s (like Grisedale, near to Garsdale), leaving only a few occupied farms and farmsteads.[9]

The Coast to Coast long-distance path traverses Birkdale, leaving the B6270 at Birkdale Cross, and following an ancient track through Ravenseat to Tan Hill.[10][11]
