The Strid is a natural narrowing of the river where the wider channel is forced through a narrow restriction vastly increasing its flow rate and power. It's a dangerous section, and you shouldn't swim here.
The surrounding woodland is one of the largest remaining sessile oak woodlands in Yorkshire.
Running along the river Wharfe trail is great fun, with some technical underfoot terrain and plenty to look at.
