Uldale is a small village in Cumbria, England. It is about five miles from Caldbeck, two miles from Ireby with which it forms the civil parish of Ireby and Uldale and Aughertree. The Uldale Fells are in the vicinity, [1] and the southeast is Chapelhouse Reservoir and Over Water.

Uldale has a place in literature as the occasional home of Judith Paris, a heroine of the 'Herries Chronicles', the saga of a Cumbrian family written by Hugh Walpole in the 1930s.

Notable landmarks

St. James Church (the old "church") is located one mile outside Uldale yet only half a mile from Ireby.[2] A school was founded in 1726 on the current site of Dale House but later moved to a larger building further through the village funded by the Cape family and many local famIlies.

The Old School was allowed fall into disrepair and was set for demolition before being saved by a Tyneside Entrepreneur and transformed into the now renowned "Mae's Tea Rooms, Restaurant and Gallery"maes. This is now the hub of the village and attracts locals, visitors and holiday makers for homecooked quality food. Mae's is also the areas biggest employer.

There is a Public House (The Snooty Fox) in the village and also the Black Lion in Ireby which serves bar meals.
