The confluence of the rivers Ouse and Nidd
Tuesday 21st April 2015
Made a trip to Beningbrough Hall, north of York, today. The air was still, it was hot and felt like summer was just around the corner. One place that I always wanted to visit was where the river Nidd flows into the river Ouse near Beningbrough Hall. Why? Because it is really a tale of three or four of Yorkshire's major rivers. The river Swale flows into the river Ure just east of Boroughbridge, the Ure then continues to a place called 'Cuddy Shaw Reach' (about 3 miles upstream from the photograph), when its name changes to the Ouse, it then meets with the river Nidd, then continues as the Ouse to the Humber! The picture shows the river Ouse flowing right to left with the Nidd joining at the centre. Not a very picturesque spot, lacks a duck or a boat, but very peaceful and calm. Nun Monkton village is beyond the steps on the right hand bank.
