Dunkeswick

Dunkeswick is a hamlet in the civil parish of Kirkby Overblow, in North Yorkshire, England, just north of the River Wharfe, off the A61, around a kilometre north of Harewood and two kilometres south of Kirkby Overblow.The fact that keswick begins with [k] rather than the [tʃ] sound of cheese, however, reflects the influence of Old Norse pronunciation on the local language.Dunkewsick Moor is noted as the site of the Knight Air Flight 816 crash in 1995.On 24 May 1995, this scheduled flight from Leeds Bradford Airport to Aberdeen crashed shortly after takeoff, with the loss of all 12 passengers and crew on board.This North Yorkshire location article is a stub.
