The River Wharfe is located in the north of England. It appears to be calm and shallow. However, the authorities ask not to get close or jump because it hides the most unsuspected danger.
You’ll be surprised. The silence characterizes the Wharfe River. It could make anyone believe that entering its waters does not represent any danger. However, the authorities ask not to approach a certain section for any reason. The reason? It hides a death trap that could end anyone’s life in seconds.
The river is located in the county of Yorkshire, in the north of England. Those who live nearby say that no one who has entered the waters of the area known as Bolton Strid has survived.

Under the current of the river Wharfe, there is a great abyss with strong underground currents. They carry everything that falls on them.
Youtuber Tom Scott explained through a video why this phenomenon occurs. It’s because the Bolton Strid section hides a network of caverns and tunnels through which large amounts of water pass.
Less than 100 meters higher, the current expands to reach 10 meters wide. It’s a few meters, making the water gain speed and great depth at this point of the river. Until now, its exact depth is unknown.
Jumping on it or trying to walk on its stones is a temptation for adventurers that could end in a tragedy. It’s without a doubt. This has led the authorities to fill the place with signs to avoid any fatal outcome.
