River Ouse, Yorkshire
The
River Ouse (pronounced "ooze") in
North Yorkshire,
England is formed by the confluence of the
River Swale and the
River Ure to the east of
Boroughbridge in central North Yorkshire. It flows through
York,
Selby and
Goole. It then joins the
River Trent at Faxfleet, to form the
River Humber.
Its system of tributaries (which includes the
Derwent,
Aire,
Don,
Wharfe,
Rother,
Nidd,
Swale,
Ure, and
Foss) drains a large upland area of Northern England, including much of the
Yorkshire Dales and
North York Moors.
The Ouse valley is a wide, flat plain; heavy rainfall in the river's catchment area can bring severe flooding to nearby settlements. In recent years both
York and
Selby, and villages in between, have been very badly hit.
