Stream in North Yorkshire, England

Arkle Beck is the stream running through the valley of Arkengarthdale in the Yorkshire Dales, England. It is a tributary of the River Swale,[1] which it joins just past Reeth at Grinton Bridge.[2] The beck itself has several tributaries which include:[3]

  • Great Punchard Gill joins the beck just north of Whaw
  • William Gill drains a substantial area of West Moor into Beck Crooks, which is the first tributary after Arkle Beck's source
  • Annaside Beck joins just below Beck Crooks
  • Roe Beck joins at Shepherd's Lodge just above Great Punchard Gill
