Longsleddale (/ˈlɒŋslɛdəl/) is a valley and civil parish in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria, England. It includes the hamlet of Sadgill. The parish has a population of 73.[1] As the population taken at the 2011 Census was less than 100, details are maintained in the civil parish of Whitwell and Selside.
The valley is bounded to the west by Kentmere Pike and Shipman Knotts, one arm of the Kentmere Horseshoe, and to the east by Sleddale Fell and its summits of Grey Crag and Tarn Crag; one of several Cumbrian hills named Great Howe is on the east of the valley above Sadgill.[2][3] The River Sprint starts on the slopes of Harter Fell and Branstree, and flows south through the valley before joining the River Kent to the north of the town of Kendal.
Halfway between Garnett Bridge and Sadgill, Ubarrow Hall is a mediaeval pele tower, reduced in height, adjoining a 17th-century farmhouse.[4]
