The River Ouse [ uːz ] (derived from the Celtic word for "water") is a river in Yorkshire , England .
The name of the river Ure changes about 9 kilometers below the confluence of the River Swale in Ouse (near Linton-on-Ouse , 20 kilometers northwest of York ). The Ouse then flows in alternating south to east directions, first through York, later passes Selby and Goole and flows together with the River Trent into the Humber estuary, which is open to the North Sea . Important tributaries are the River Foss , River Wharfe , River Aire , River Derwent and River Don , whose catchments are mainly in the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales . Together with its upper course, the Ure, the river has a length of 208 kilometers. (The flow path over the Swale is 183 kilometers long.)
