Vessey Pasture Dale
Vessey Pasture Dale
Looking west from the junction of Back Dale. A civil parish boundary runs down the middle of this dale - Birdsall to the right/north, Thixendale to the left/south. The Yorkshire Wolds is the northernmost chalk landscape in Britain. The chalk is 400 metres thick. During the 'ice age' the Wolds were an 'island' surrounded by ice. There would have been heavy ice and snow cover in winter, and then rapid run-off in warmer months, creating the steep sided narrow valleys that we see today.
