The Great Valley, also called the Great Appalachian Valley or Great Valley Region, is one of the major landform features of eastern North America. It is a gigantic trough—a chain of valley lowlands—and the central feature of the Appalachian Mountain system. The trough stretches about 1200 miles from Quebec to Alabama and has been an important north-south route of travel since prehistoric times.

Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Forward the Light Brigade!”
