URE (The), a river of N. R. Yorkshire; rising on mountains at the boundary with Westmoreland, 7 miles W by S of Muker; and running about 50 miles eastward and south-eastward, past Hawes, Askrigg, Middleham, Masham, Ripon, and Boroughbridge, to a confluence with the Swale at Myton, where it and the Swale form the Ouse. It makes several fine falls, and traverses much interesting scenery. Its upper valley, down to Jervaux abbey, is called Wensleydale; and its lower valley is part of the great champaign of York.
