Ouse River

The Ouse River finds its source in the North Pennines in North Yorkshire. Once can also enjoy the colorful skyline during the sunset with the backdrop of the Ouse River. There are many local companies organising adventure trips, including going for Kayaking and bicycling by the river.

Another major highlight at the Ouse River is the annual York Summer Regatta celebration, a rowing festival on the Ouse River. On a regular day, travlers can grab a chair and order food by the riverside restaurant with a view of the Ouse River.  

This famous river of Yorkshire is a continuation of River Ure, and together, these two make the sixth longest river in the UK with a length of 208 KMS altogether. The Ouse River and York have more than just commercial associations because rowing and boating are two pastimes the river has long been connected to. The river has played a  significant role in prospering the city, acting as a thriving port and trading center in ancient times.  One can also stroll down the river walk side and enjoy the scenic beauty of the nearby landmarks such as Clifford's Tower York Minster and a beautiful skyline. At the origin point of the river, it is named the Ouse Gill Beck, which then forms a spring near the Great Ouseburn. The 1868-founded York City Rowing Club honors the river's history by staging rowing competitions and encouraging a sense of community among enthusiasts.
