In physical geography, a dale is an open valley. The name occurs particularly frequently in the Lowlands of Scotland and in the North of England, where the term " fell" commonly refers to the mountains or hills that flank the dale.

"Dale", the native English word, equates to usages in other areas such as the term " valley", a word which dates only from the Norman Conquest.
