 Ripon in General ... 15,922 at the 2001 census, making it the fourth smallest city in England after Wells, Ely and the City of London (in the rest of the United Kingdom, St David's, Bangor, and Armagh are also smaller). Ripon is situated at the confluence of the streams Laver and Skell with the River Ure, which is crossed by a fine bridge of nine arches.
