Local Waterways Part 4 - The River Ouse

So for the next part in this series we look at the River Ouse from the head of the navigable section at Ripon right to the start of the River Humber.

 Ripon Canal Basin. A fitting head to the navigation in a fine city.

 Heading downstream on the River Ure.

 Linton Lock the first on the Ouse proper.

 Kings Staithe, York. Right in the heart of the city.

 Naburn Lock at the start of the tidal river.

 The tidal Ouse. Pretty on a sunny day but often dull dismal and uninviting.

 Selby Lock at the entry to the Selby Canal.

 Goole Docks. Here the river is wide, sweeping and powerful.

Blacktoft Jetty. From here it is just a short hop to Trent End and the start of the River Humber.
