Staindale Beck A quiet dale just outside the eastern edge of Dalby Forest Park with a wooded beck of crystal clear waters with small trout on one of the National Trust's working farms. The name Stain Dale comes from the Norse and means a 'stony valley' probably because of the rock formations higher up the valley at the Bridestones.
