Course
The river starts from the south side of Grimwith Reservoir and flows south west through Burnett Fold Nook and then south before returning south west to pass under the B6265 at Dibble's Bridge, which was the scene of the Dibbles Bridge Coach Crash in 1975. Below its confluence with Holes Beck, the Ordnance Survey maps show the name of the river changing to Barben Beck. It follows a mostly southerly course through Rough Close Wood and Barnscar Plantation to Rookcroft Wood. It turns west through Sprinsgide Wood and then south west again past Hartlington Mill, where it was once used to power a 5.5 m-diameter undershot water wheel, and under Hartlington Bridge before joining the River Wharfe.
