River Ribble
The River Ribble runs through North Yorkshire and Lancashire in Northern England. It starts close to the Ribblehead Viaduct in North Yorkshire, and is one of the few that start in the Yorkshire Dales and flow westwards towards the Irish Sea (the Dee in Dentdale and the Twiss in Kingsdale being notable others). Etymology The name ''Ribble'' may be a Brittonic compound-formation. The second element is the noun ''*pol'', with connotations including "puddle, pond, upland-stream" ( Welsh ''pwll''). The first is ''rö-'', an intensive prefix, with nouns meaning "great" (Welsh ''rhy-'', Cornish re-). Ribble may once have been known as ''*Bremetonā-'', underlying the name ''Bremetenacum'', the Roman fort at Ribchester. Involved here is the Brittonic root ''*breμ–'', meaning "roaring" (cf. Welsh ''brefu''), as observed at the river-names Breamish in Northumberland, Braan in Scotland and Brefi in Wales. History Neolithic to Saxon finds from along the River Ribble during th ...

Ribble And Alt Estuaries
The estuaries of the River Ribble and River Alt lie on the Irish Sea coasts of Lancashire and Merseyside in North West England. Together they, and the area of salt marsh, mudflats, and sand dunes between them, form a Special Protection Area and Ramsar site which covers the coastline between Crosby and Lytham St Annes. These protected areas overlap with two sites of special scientific interest, Ribble Estuary and Sefton Coast. Protected area A large number of different species of waders and wildfowl, listed below, use the estuaries as feeding and over-wintering areas. This wide variety of bird species has led to the estuaries being officially designated as a Special Protection Area and as a Ramsar site. The Ribble Estuary has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest since 1966 and is now covered by Natural England's Ribble Estuary National Nature Reserve. The site The Ribble Marshes National Nature Reserve is in extent and it is located in the middle of the SSSI ...
