Tom Curtis's Pictures of Bolton Abbey

The Strid, Bolton Abbey

The Strid is a series of waterfalls and rapids associated with a deep underwater channel caused by the dramatic narrowing of the River Wharfe from approximately 30 yd wide just to the north of the start of the Strid, to the width of a long stride less than 100 yardsIt is especially dangerous as both banks are undercut, and it has been the scene of a number of fatalities including those of a honeymoon couple. The Strid walk is very popular and is accessed from the car park at Bolton Abbey.
