A small wooded valley or dell, especially one that's narrow and thickly covered with trees.
From Irish 'dinglean' or Middle English 'dingle,' possibly related to Old English 'denu' (valley), with roots suggesting a small enclosed place.
Famous from Dingle Peninsula in Ireland, this word captures something uniquely British and Irish—the vocabulary for landscape features is so rich they have specific words for small wooded valleys.
