Description
A balcony overlooking the river Aire in Leeds, England.
The River Aire is a major river in Yorkshire, England, 71 miles (114 km) in length. Part of the river is canalised, and is known as the Aire and Calder Navigation.
The Aire rises at Malham Tarn then flows underground to Aire Head, near Malham, in North Yorkshire. After flowing through several settlements, the river re-enters North Yorkshire near Knottingley and in its lower reaches forms part of the boundary between North Yorkshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire.
The River Aire empties into the River Ouse at Airmyn, 'myn' being an old English word for 'river mouth'. The name possibly derived from Common Brittonic *Isara, meaning "strong river". Still others have claimed that it is actually the name of the battle and not the body of water itself.
