Yorkshire Ouse Walk Guidebook

by: Ivan E Broadhead
From its humble source north-west of York, the Yorkshire Ouse winds its way gently along some 60 miles of superb countryside. It swallows up streams from picturesque dales and steadily swells until it unites with the River Trent to become the mighty Humber and sweeps majestically into the North Sea.

This guide book enables you to explore the length of the Ouse and its attractive surroundings, but more than that it provides some fascinating details of river history and events that have occurred around it. Divided into ten sections, ranging in distance between four and eight miles, it includes a guide to public transport and lists good pubs and other refreshment opportunities.

Each section begins with practical details including terrain, OS map references, car parking and public transport. Route finding instructions are clear and identified by a vertical line in the outer margin. This is to distinguish them from the comprehensive background information provided. The sections are as follows:
Ouseburn to Newton on Ouse
Newton on Ouse to Rawcliffe Ings
Rawcliffe Ings to Skeldergate Bridge
Skeldergate Bridge to Naburn
Naburn to Cawood
Cawood to Selby Bridge
Selby Bridge to Hemingbrough
Hemingbrough to Boothferry
Boothferry to Swinefleet
Swinefleet to Adlingfleet Ings
