Aire River Trust

The Aire Valley offers a diverse tapestry accessible to all, right within our cities. This 92-mile stretch of river connects our communities and scenic gems, flowing from the pristine Malham Tarn, through West Yorkshire’s industrialized urban landscapes, to its confluence with the Ouse near Airmyn, just upstream of Goole. Discovering the Aire River is made accessible through various resources and initiatives detailed below. From updated Wikipedia entries highlighting geographical nuances and settlements along its path, to bespoke walks curated during the DNAire project, like “Discovering the Natural Aire.” Each walk unveils beloved spots along the riverbank for personal exploration. For those seeking a more detailed understanding, the Story Map offers a technical journey into the Aire’s depths. Embrace the opportunity to explore, learn, and cherish this recovering post-industrial river.
