This is a really nice natural beauty place not far from Bolton Abbey and in the Strid woods

The Strid is a section of the River Wharfe and considered to be one of the most dangerous sections of rivers in the UK. The river is forced through a narrow gap at Great pressure.

Trollers Gill is a narrow limestone gorge in the Yorkshire Dales, near the village of Appletreewick in North Yorkshire. It has a mysterious reputation tied to local folklore. 🥾A great adventure for those who enjoy off-the-beaten-path routes and perfect introduction to Ghyll scrambling. 📜 The gorge is said to be haunted by trolls, hence its name. According to legend, it is home to a fearsome barghest—a supernatural black dog with glowing red eyes, often associated with death and misfortune. Some stories also link the ghyll to mythical goblins and other eerie creatures, adding to its reputation as a place of mystery. 🪨 The gorge is cut into limestone, featuring rocky outcrops, scree slopes, and a sometimes dry streambed. It was likely formed by glacial meltwater, carving out the dramatic landscape seen today. The ghyll can be dry for much of the year, but after heavy rain, water flows through the valley.

Very slippery as you are walking on the dry (at the time of walking) stream bed - walking pole would be useful, otherwise take care of

A great boulder scramble when there has been heavy rainfall. If you don't fancy it then a shirt detour can be made

Halfway between Burnsall and Hebden on the River Wharfe is this very dramatic limestone gorge called Loup Scar. I'd suggest you slow down your run to look at it - it's quite a sight. The scar is on the opposite (northern) bank, but I think it's actually easier to appreciate the drama from here.

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.

Really dramatic scenery and an exhilarating scramble when the gill is full of water! Don't forget to take a peek in the cave on the right-hand side as you reach the top of the gill!
