The River Bain is a small river in North Yorkshire, England. It flows into another river called the River Ure. The River Bain is special because it's one of the shortest rivers in England that has its own name! There's also a small project on the river called River Bain Hydro near Bainbridge that uses the water to make electricity.
Where the River Bain Flows
The River Bain starts its journey from Semerwater, which is the second-largest natural lake in North Yorkshire. It flows towards the north-east, passing by a small village called Countersett.
After flowing gently with a few bends, the river goes through a wooded area. It then slowly turns to flow more directly north. The River Bain goes under the A684 road in Bainbridge. Finally, it joins the River Ure just east of Yore Bridge.
Making Electricity from Water
The River Bain is home to a cool project called River Bain Hydro. This project uses the natural flow of the river's water to create electricity. It's a small-scale hydroelectricity project, which means it's a way to make clean energy using the power of moving water. This helps provide power to the local area in a way that is good for the environment.
