Smardale Hall is thought to have originally been erected around 1388 by the Smerdale family. Since that time much of the building has been demolished and replaced with farm buildings and consequently it is now predominently a 15th century building.

Smardale Hall has principally been in the ownership of two families before settling upon the current owners, i.e. the Smerdale and Warcop families. Sir George Dalston became the owner of Smardale Hall in 1761, since which time the Hall has been left in tail to his heirs.

Smardale Hall is part of a working livestock farm in an attractive location close to the Smardale Gill National Nature Reserve, an SSSI, and the Smardale Valley. Formerly known as Smerdale Hall, the property has hardly changed in appearance since the 15th century.
