River Swale (Swaledale).National Park
The River Swale in Yorkshire England is a major tributary of the River Ure, which becomes the River Ouse that empties into the North Sea via the Humber Estuary. The name Swale is from the Anglo-Saxon word Sualuae meaning rapid and liable to deluge.
The River Swale is the northernmost tributary of the Yorkshire Ouse with its headwaters located in the eastern Yorkshire Dales above the hamlet of Keld, from where it flows in an easterly direction. After passing through the major settlements of Richmond and Catterick, the river flows southwards and joins the River Ure at Myton-on-Swale in the Vale of York. The Swale has a catchment area of 1446 km2 and a length of 118 km.
