35 Importance of the River Orse to York, England

York was founded almost 2,000 years ago at the confluence of Rivers Floss and Ouse. These waterways helped define the city’s military, agricultural, transportation and shipping history. You can see how popular the Orse riverside is with tourists and locals. These people are enjoying a sunny afternoon at Kings Arms. It is affectionately yet accurately called “The Pub that Floods.” Fans of the paranormal also meet here for the Original Ghost Walk tour. York claims to have well over 100 active ghosts. The Ghost Research Foundation International has crowned it the world’s most haunted city.
