River Ouse, Yorkshire

The River Ouse in North Yorkshire, England flows through Boroughbridge, York and Selby, and into the River Humber near Howden.

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.

This is not the only River Ouse.
