Bedale

Bedale is a small market town in North Yorkshire, England, east of the Yorkshire Dales.

The town was the site of a castle. Existing historic buildings include an eighteenth century apothecary's store for leeches, an underground ice house used for preserving food, and the fourteenth century market cross.

Bedale is home to a small museum, numerous Georgian buildings, and a station on the Wensleydale Railway, which runs to Leyburn. The Thorpe Perrow Arboretum lies nearby.
