Wikipedia EN Ribble
The River Ribble is a river that flows through North Yorkshire and Lancashire in Northern England. It has a length of approximately 75 miles (121 kilometres) from its source near Selside in Ribblesdale to its estuary on the Irish Sea.
From its source, the Ribble flows in a generally southerly direction past Settle, then turns south-west near Gisburn and flows through Clitheroe, Ribchester and Preston. Its mouth is on the Irish Sea between Lytham St. Annes and Southport. Its tributaries include the Hodder and Calder, which join the river less than 1 mile (1.6 kilometres) apart near Whalley in Lancashire; the Darwen, which joins at Walton-le-Dale; and the Douglas, which joins near Hesketh Bank. The Ribble is the only major river rising in Yorkshire which flows westward.
The Ribble Estuary is of particular ecological significance. It forms part of the Ribble and Alt Estuaries Ramsar site and the Ribble and Alt Estuaries Special Protection Area (SPA). The estuary is also included within the Ribble Estuary Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ), the Ribble Estuary Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and the Ribble Estuary National Nature Reserve.
