*************

Colsterdale is the valley of the River Burn, a tributary of the River Ure, in the Yorkshire Dales in North Yorkshire, England. It gives its name to a hamlet and civil parish in the upper part of the dale. The area is in Harrogate district. The hamlet is seven miles west of Masham.

Although Colsterdale is not in Nidderdale, it lies within the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The Colsterdale towers are towers built between 1895 and 1911 to conduct surveys.

The name, first recorded in 1281, means ""coalman valley"". There was a coal mine here in the 14th century.[1]

Colsterdale was historically part of the parish of East Witton in the North Riding of Yorkshire.[2] In the 19th century it became part of the civil parish of East Witton Without, but in 1886 was transferred to the civil parish of Healey with Sutton, and in 1894 was created a separate civil parish.[3]

During the First World War Colsterdale was the site of a training camp for the Leeds Pals. There is now a memorial to the Leeds Pals in the dale.[4] It later became a Prisoner of War camp for German Officers.[5]
