Settle Bridge over the River Ribble

Highlight • River

The River Ribble runs through North Yorkshire and Lancashire in Northern England. and is one of the few that start in the Yorkshire Dales and flow westwards towards the sea.

At one time the Ribble marked the northernmost extent of the ancient kingdom of Mercia. At the time of the Domesday Book, the river formed the northern boundary of an area of land (known as Inter Ripam et Mersam) that was included in the Domesday information for Cheshire, though it was probably not formally part of the county of Cheshire.
