Coverdale cheese is of the same general texture and flavour as Wensleydale, but thought by some to be slightly sourer and therefore possessing greater 'edge'.

105-576: Is about 74 miles (119 km) long from its source to the point where it becomes the River Ouse . It is the principal river of Wensleydale , which is the only major dale now named after a village rather than its river. The old name for the valley was Yoredale after the river that runs through it. The Ure is one of many rivers and waterways that drain the Dales into the River Ouse. Tributaries of

Lower Wensleydale is a broader version of mid Wensleydale with the river gently meandering until it drops significantly at Aysgarth over the platformed waterfalls. The valley sides become increasingly wooded. From Middleham onwards, the river is a typical middle-aged river and meanders in wider arcs as it flows south-east. The valley has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Examples of earthworks and other artifacts from

Where it reaches the A684, it turns east along Wensleydale as far as Wensley. From here, it flows south-east to Jervaulx Abbey and shortly after south to Mickley . Here, it returns east and then south to Ripon. A little way after Ripon, it flows east again to Boroughbridge. To
189-627: The 1860s, but the decline continued after that.

The commissioners had insufficient income to maintain the navigation, and in 1999, it was transferred to British Waterways . The navigation authority for

294-575: The modern form of the name. The name probably means "the strong or swift river". This is on the assumption that the Brittonic name of the river was Isurā , because the Roman name for Aldborough was Isurium ; intervocalic s is known to have been lost in Brittonic at an early date.
