Littondale and its retreat moraine lines left on the fellside from the last ice age, Yorkshire Dales National Park, England, UK
Littondale is located to the west of Wharfedale and follows the River Skirfare. The nature of the dale and its characteristic smooth form was the result of many ice ages, especially the one 20,000 years ago. As the glacier for that age receded it left retreat moraine, an example of which can be found at Skirfare Bridge
