Abstract: We study various holographic RG flow solutions involving warped asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) spaces of $A_{N-1}$ type. A two-dimensional RG flow from a UV (2,0) CFT to a (4,0) CFT in the IR is found in the context of (1,0) six dimensional supergravity, interpolating between $Ad{S}_{3}imes{S}^3/mathbb{Z}_N$ and $Ad{S}_{3}imes{S}^3$ geometries. We also find solutions involving non trivial gauge fields in the form of SU(2) Yang-Mills instantons on ALE spaces. Both flows are of vev type, driven by a vacuum expectation value of a marginal operator. RG flows in four dimensional field theories are studied in the type IIB and type I${{\displaystyle }}^{\prime }$ context. In type IIB theory, the flow interpolates between $Ad{S}_{5}imes{S}^5/mathbb{Z}_N$ and $Ad{S}_{5}imes{S}^5$ geometries. The field theory interpretation is that of an N=2 $SU(n{)}^N$ quiver gauge theory flowing to N=4 SU(n) gauge theory. In type I${{\displaystyle }}^{\prime }$ theory the solution describes an RG flow from N=2 quiver gauge theory with a product gauge group to N=2 gauge theory in the IR, with gauge group $USp(n)$. The corresponding geometries are $Ad{S}_{5}imes{S}^5/(mathbb{Z}_{N}imesmathbb{Z}_2)$ and $Ad{S}_{5}imes{S}^5/mathbb{Z}_2$, respectively. We also explore more general RG flows, in which both the UV and IR CFTs are N=2 quiver gauge theories and the corresponding geometries are $Ad{S}_{5}imes{S}^5/(mathbb{Z}_{N}imesmathbb{Z}_2)$ and $Ad{S}_{5}imes{S}^5/(mathbb{Z}_{M}imesmathbb{Z}_2)$. Finally, we discuss the matching between the geometric and field theoretic pictures of the flows.
