dale: "the usual name of a river-valley between its enclosing ranges of hills or high land."
vale: "A more or less extensive tract of land lying between two ranges of hills, or stretches of high ground, and usually traversed by a river or stream; a dale or valley, esp. one which is comparatively wide and flat."
