From the Wikipedia article
Bowderdale is a hamlet in Cumbria, England, 6 miles (10 km) southwest of Kirkby Stephen. It is also the name of a dale in the Howgill Fells, the valley of Bowderdale Beck which rises on the western slopes of Yarlside and flows 5 miles (8 km) north to join the River Lune below the village of Bowderdale. For most of its length the beck forms the boundary between the parishes of Ravenstonedale and Orton. The name, first recorded in 1224 as Butheresdal, is from the Old Norse búthar 'of the booths or shelters' and á 'river', so means "valley of the river of booths or shelters".
