It rises in wild moors near Malham, in the north-west quarter of the west riding; runs about a mile underground to Malham cove; then goes ESE, past Skipton and Bingley, to Leeds; then assumes a more easterly direction, till below Snaith; then turns to the NE and goes to the Ouse, a little below Armin, 3 miles SW of Howden. Its en tire length is about 70 miles. It is joined at Leeds by the Liverpool canal, which follows it thither from Gargrave; at Castleford, by the river Calder; and at Birkin, by the Selby canal.
