The '''River Aire''' is a
river in
Yorkshire,
England. Part of the river is canalised and is known as the
Aire and Calder Navigation. It starts at Aire Head, near
Malham, in
North Yorkshire and flows through
Gargrave and
Skipton. After
Cononley, the river enters
West Yorkshire where it passes through the former industrial areas of
Keighley,
Bingley,
Saltaire and
Shipley. It then flows through the city of
Leeds. It 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, Yorkshire River Ouse at
Airmyn, 'myn' being the old English word for 'river mouth'.
It goes under the Ireland bridge in Bingley
