The River Esk rises on the uplands of the North York Moors National Park and is the only major river in the county of Yorkshire that drains directly into the North Sea.
The source of the Esk is upstream of Westerdale, where a series of becks known as the Esklets merge to form the River Esk.
At this point the river is approximately 15m wide, and in normal summer flows the depths vary between 20cm and 30cm.

 ENGLISH NATURE - Special Sites
In general terms the geology of North Yorkshire comprises a range of sedimentary rocks that slope gently to the east so that the oldest rocks are present in the west of the County and the youngest in the east.
To the east the Millstone Grit is overlain by the Permian Magnesian Limestone and Triassic mudstones and sandstones.
Much of North Yorkshire was covered by ice during the last glacial of the Quaternary, or Ice Ages, and as a consequence the solid geology is largely covered by layers of glacially derived sediments.

On the River Esk in Yorkshire, the county's only salmon river, it appears that a government-supported consortium of conservation bodies, landowners and farmers believe that sportsmen arenot only an important part of resuscitating the landscape but should be encouraged, not expelled.
To date, with the help of European Union funds, the partnership has restored seven and a half miles of riverbanks eroded by thirsty cattle by fencing off stock and planting trees.
Efforts have also been made to upgrade the river's appeal to anglers, with five miles of the riverbed cleared of obstructions, fish-friendly habitats re-established and 100,000 salmon released to boost local stocks.
