Geografia

Il Foss ha la sua sorgente nelle Howardian Hills, non lontano dal villaggio di Oulston. Da lì segue un corso, orientato verso sud, per 31 km passando attraverso i villaggi di Stillington, Strensall, Haxby e Earswick, prima di immettersi nell'Ouse nella città di York.

Il fiume è protetto dagli straripamenti dell'Ouse al livello della confluenza dalla barriera Foss che impedisce il risalire dell'acqua e protegge i quartieri di York bagnati dal Foss.

[en] River Foss

The River Foss is in North Yorkshire, England. It is a tributary of the River Ouse. It rises in the Foss Crooks Woods near Oulston Reservoir close to the village of Yearsley and runs south through the Vale of York to the Ouse in the centre of York. The name most likely comes from the Latin word Fossa, meaning ditch.[1] It is mentioned in the Domesday Book.[2] The York district was settled by Norwegian and Danish people, so parts of the place names could be old Norse.

The old Norse word Fos (waterfall) meaning impetuous. The River Foss was dammed, and even though the elevation to the River Ouse is small, a waterfall was formed. This may have led to the name Fos which became Foss.
