Healaugh (pronounced "hee-law")[1] is a small village and civil parish in Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales. It is in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England and lies about 1 mile west of Reeth.
The name Healaugh is derived from a Saxon word (Heah) meaning a high-level forest clearing.[2]
The village is small, with no amenities except a stone trough fed by a hillside stream,[1] and the village telephone box. The latter is unusually well endowed, with a carpet, waste paper bin, ash tray, directories and fresh flowers. Visitors may leave a donation.[2]
On 5 July 2014, the Tour de France Stage 1 from Leeds to Harrogate passed through the village.[3]
