Dent Station was opened in 1877 and at 350m above sea level, it is the highest mainline station in England and has had to endure some very severe winters. The snow fence, made from old railway sleepers to protect the track from snow can be seen in the distance behind the waiting room.

Adam Sedgwick Fountain, Dent in the Yorkshire Dales, Cumbria.
This block of granite enclosing a fountain was once Dent’s only drinking water supply. It is a fitting memorial to Adam Sedgwick, the famous son of the local vicar. Adam, best known as a pioneer of geology, was also a great mathematician and a canon in Norwich cathedral. Charles Darwin studied under Sedgwick at Cambridge University before embarking on a scientific expedition aboard HMS Beagle in 1831. A Geological Trail in neighbouring Garsdale was created in 1985 to mark the bicentenary of Sedgwick’s birth..

Gravestone of a vampire? St Andrew's Church, Dent in the Yorkshire Dales, Cumbria.
Born in 1621, George Hodgson created a stir around Dent by living to the ripe old age of 94. The villagers had never known the like before and assumed that George was a vampire, especially as he had managed to retain his two prominent canine teeth! Upon death, he was buried in a quiet corner of the churchyard, but when unexplained deaths started to occur and his ghost was seen, George was dug up and reburied by the church porch with a stake through his heart. .
