The Strid
The Strid is a unique spot along where the River Wharf runs between two banks of mossy boulders, looking more like a stream or a creek than a rushing river, but travel just upstream of the spot and you will see that the waterway expands into a proper river. The reason the Strid is so thin is because the waters have changed orientation - instead of flowing in a wide horizontal course, the waters begin to flow vertically in the tight shaft created by the natural rock. This section of the river is deceptively deep and can be very dangerous, so exercise caution along the river bank. Also please remember to leave this natural area just as you find it.
