Stations are listed from source to mouth as the water flows, traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers) and the Environment Agency’s own links between its gauges. A distance “by river” is along the river, and is shown only where the map traces the path.

Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins the Ure above one of its gauges, from the source down. Named streams without a gauge that have a page here are listed at the end.
Each tributary’s water passes the gauge it joins above and every gauge below it on the Ure, and none of the gauges above where it joins. For each, the gauge nearest the Ure is shown; its own page lists the rest.
Joins the Ure above Bainbridge, its highest gauge, no more than 13.8 km by river above Bainbridge. Nearest the Ure: Low Houses Normal.
Joins the Ure between Masham and Ripon Ure Bank, no more than 23.4 km by river above Ripon Ure Bank. Nearest the Ure: Masham, Swinney Beck Low.
Joins the Ure between Ripon Ure Bank and Westwick Weir, no more than 4.0 km by river above Westwick Weir. Nearest the Ure: Bishop Monkton Normal.
Joins the Ure between Ripon Ure Bank and Westwick Weir, no more than 7.4 km by river above Westwick Weir. Nearest the Ure: Alma Weir Normal; 2 more gauges further up. Gauged streams joining it: River Laver.
Joins the Ure between Boroughbridge and Aldwark Bridge, no more than 7.7 km by river above Aldwark Bridge. Nearest the Ure: Myton-On-Swale Normal; 21 more gauges further up. Gauged streams joining it: Arkle Beck, Bedale Beck, Brough Beck, Cod Beck, River Wiske and Cundall Beck.
Joins the Ure between Boroughbridge and Aldwark Bridge, no more than 11.1 km by river above Aldwark Bridge. Nearest the Ure: Boroughbridge Low.
Below Aldwark Bridge, its water next reaches Monkton, a gauge on River Ouse, 10.2 km by river downstream.
Tributaries and where they join are traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers, edition 2026-04) and the Environment Agency’s links between its gauges. The map holds distances between gauges, not the junctions themselves, so a junction is placed between two gauges, and no further up than the tributary’s own lowest gauge.

108 storm overflows are traced upstream of Aldwark Bridge, the Ure’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Ure itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.
Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Aldwark Bridge: 3,199 spills over 18,411 hours in total, across the 107 that have a figure. 1 had no usable monitor data that year.
Each overflow is listed in the stretch above the first gauge its water reaches, from the source down, as on the Gauges tab. A stretch of the Ure includes the smaller streams that join it there. Where a stretch or a tributary has more than 4, the 3 discharging now or nearest its gauge are listed, the rest are counted, and every one is in that gauge’s “Upstream of here” list.

Within 3 km of one of the Ure’s gauges in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water reaches it.
6 more near these gauges whose connection is not known.
1 other overflow within 3 km of these gauges is placed below the Ure’s lowest gauge or on another river, so not listed.
A status is the water company’s own monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, never how much or why, and a spill does not by itself explain a change in a river level. A status older than two hours is shown as unknown. Annual figures are the official returns: 12/24-hour spills for England and Wales, overflow events for Scotland (Scottish Water counts differently, so the two cannot be compared). “No data” means the monitor produced no usable data that year, not zero. Overflows are placed on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels: an overflow the map cannot place may still drain here.

Dated samples taken by the Environment Agency, not live readings. Results are published days to months after the sample is taken, and many points are sampled only a few times a year, or have not been sampled for years.
219 sampling points on the River Ure and the streams that join it above Aldwark Bridge. 87 have a sample from the last 12 months; 159 have any sample banked.

England's samples only. Each count opens the list of those points, nearest first, with the date of each one’s latest sample (the gauge’s “Upstream of here” list).
FloodRadar does not grade these results: there is no overall score, and official river classifications are a separate dataset. A sample taken downstream of an overflow does not by itself show where anything in it came from. River connections and distances are traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels.
