Bedale
Bedale is a market community and civil parish in the area of Hambleton, North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, it is located 34 miles (55 kilometres) north of Leeds, 26 miles (42 kilometres) south-west of Middlesbrough and also 7 miles (11 kilometres) south-west of the county town of Northallerton. It was initially in Richmondshire and detailed in the Domesday Book as part of Catterick wapentake, which was also known as Hangshire (so called from Hang Bank in Finghall and also due to the many hangings used to carry out marauding Scots); it was split once more and also Bedale remained in East Hang. Bedale Beck is a tributary of the River Swale, which creates one of the Yorkshire Dales, with its control of farming as well as its associated tiny standard professions, although tourist is significantly important. An electoral ward of the same name exists, which ward includes Aiskew parish and had a total population of 4,601 at the 2011 Census. In October 2018 the community was twinned with Azay-sur-Cher, a town in the Loire Valley in France.
