My personal version of the Dales, although it is a few years since it was a regular stomping ground:

No.

Yes.
>Do you count side valleys (e.g. Arkengarthdale, Littondale, Langstrothdale)?
Might as well.
>Do you count Teesdale? or other valleys north of Stainmore (e.g. Deep Dale)?
No. But there is at least one Deepdale in my Dales.
>Do you count valleys in the North York Moors?
No.
>Do they have to have "dale" in the name?
Can't think of any that don't.
