What is a Village and a Civil Parish?

A village is a small community, usually bigger than a hamlet but smaller than a town. Villages often have a close-knit feel, with local shops, a church, and a community hall.

A civil parish is a type of local government area in England. Think of it as a small district with its own local council, called a parish council. This council helps manage local services and represents the community's interests. So, Dent is not just a village; it also has its own local government!

While Dent isn't directly inside the Lake District, it's very close to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, another area with incredible landscapes, rolling hills, and valleys. This means Dent is a great spot for exploring the outdoors!
