The stream flows into the North Sea in Bridlington harbour. It is the most northerly of the Yorkshire chalk streams.[4] The Gypsey Race rises in the Great Wold Valley[5] through a series of springs and flows intermittently between Duggleby and West Lutton where it runs underground in the chalk aquifer before re-surfacing in Rudston. It has been known during very wet conditions for the stream to re-appear at Wold Newton[6] some {{convert|7|km|order=flip}} north west of Rudston.[7] Water from the aquifer running between West Lutton and Wold Newton also heads south to re-appear at Elmswell feeding West Beck and the River Hull.[6] According to folklore, when the Gypsey Race is flowing in flood (The Woe Waters), bad fortune is at hand.[8] It was in flood in the year before the great plague of 1664, the restoration of Charles II (1660) and the landing of William of Orange (1688), before the two world wars and the bad winters of 1947 and 1962.[2] The stream also badly flooded the village of Burton Fleming in 2012 when the water was {{convert|2|ft}} deep in places.[9] Villagers in Boynton have an annual duck race on the stream in May. Hundreds of yellow plastic ducks are paid for and race the Race in aid of funds for the village hall.[10] PicturesNotes1. ^From the Old English Gypsia meaning to suddenly spring into life 2. ^1 {{cite news|last=Hulbert|first=Linda|title=Origin of the Gypsey Race|url=http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/news/your-say/origin-of-the-gypsey-race-1-1723797|accessdate= 4 November 2016|work=Bridlington Free Press|date= 21 May 2008}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Gypsey Race from Source to North Sea|url=http://environment.data.gov.uk/catchment-planning/WaterBody/GB104026072790|website=Catchment Data Explorer|publisher=Environment Agency|accessdate= 4 November 2016}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|title=Gypsey race|url=http://www.eastyorkshireriverstrust.org.uk/uploads/publications/newsLetter02April2008.pdf|website=eastyorkshireriverstrust.org|publisher=East Yorkshire Chalk Rivers Trust|accessdate=4 November 2016|page=2|format=PDF|date=April 2008}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Great Wold Valley Heritage Trail|url=http://luttonsandweaverthorpe.ryedaleconnect.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Trail-leaflet-A4-final-270913.pdf|website=ryedaleconnect.org|publisher=Ryedale District Council|accessdate=4 November 2016|page=1|format=PDF}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|title=Gypsey Race - Summary|url=http://environment.data.gov.uk/catchment-planning/OperationalCatchment/3214/Summary|website=Catchment data Explorer|publisher=Environment Agency|accessdate=4 November 2016}} 7. ^{{cite map|title = Scarborough & Bridlington|map=101|year =2006 |scale =1:50,000 |series =Landranger |publisher =Ordnance Survey|edition=D2|isbn =9780319229057}} 8. ^{{cite book |last = Cooper |first = A.N. |authorlink = |title = The Curiosities of East Yorkshire |publisher = E.T.W.
