Dist:0.3km<br/>Looking downstream from Kirby Wiske bridge, this little river looks placid enough, but at times it causes local flooding. Heavy rain on the eastern edge of the North York Moors can bring huge amounts of water downstream, whilst a flood on the nearby Swale system causes the Wiske to back up and flood surrounding farmland.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Looking downstream from Kirby Wiske bridge. The flood was due to water from the Swale backing up the Wiske, rather than excessive water in the Wiske itself. Two miles further upstream there was no flood at all, but the minor road from the village to Maunby was impassable.
