South of Skipton the River Aire flows into the broad flood plain of the Aire Valley and then through the industrial towns of Keighley, Bingley, Saltaire and Shipley (in Bradford) where the river meets Bradford beck and then heads off to Leeds and in to the so called "Ouse Basin" at the southern end of the Vale of York en route to the Humber estuary at the Yorkshire coast, and the North Sea.
Other places in and around the Aire Valley include East Morton, Keighley Gate, Silsden and Sutton in Craven.
