Silverdale is a minor dale in the Yorkshire Dales in North Yorkshire, England. It is a side dale of Ribblesdale, and lies west of Fountains Fell. The dale head is just south of Pen-y-ghent. The Pennine Way crosses the head of the dale.[1]
A minor road runs through the dale from Stainforth to Halton Gill.[2] 4 miles (6.4 km) along the road from Stainforth is the site of Neolithic burial ground known as Giants Graves.[3][4]
