The Coal Road (also known as the Galloway Gate Road) is an unclassified highway which connects the railway stations at Garsdale and Dent in Cumbria, England. The road is within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire.[note 1] The name derives from its use transporting locally mined coal, although before that it was used as a droving route between England and Scotland through Mallerstang.
