Lunedale is a quiet upland valley in County Durham, England, running along the course of the River Lune and forming part of the rolling moors of the North Pennines. The dale is framed by heather-clad moorland, drystone walls and scattered farms, and contains reservoirs such as Grassholme Reservoir and Selset Reservoir which feed the local rivers and add a water-based dimension to the landscape.
It has a largely agricultural character dominated by sheep farming, with traces of the area’s industrial past in old lead-mining workings and estate boundaries. The community is small and rural, popular with walkers and anglers exploring Teesdale and the surrounding hills; the dale sits within easy reach of market towns such as Middleton-in-Teesdale and Barnard Castle, which provide local services and markets.
