Have you guys heard of the strid? 🤔 What did you think to this location? Leave a comment below and let us know!
Yes....totally agree...very dangerously peaceful....mind you the Mersey has claimed a lot of unwary folk too...
Looked like it wouldn't be dangerous but it most definitely is!
@@HayandKyle it's the one you don't see that gets ya....
I've certainly heard of it and I've parked my car near Barden Bridge in the past when I used to live fairly near there, don't think I ever saw the waters of the Strid. The Yorkshire Dales are beautiful, nothing but good memories from there, hope to return sometime next year.
Jack O Snacks did a series on the Strid. youtube.com/@jackasnacks
Another Strid adventurer! Glad you showed off more of Strid Wood. Having walked through there myself multiple times for my viewers, i only ever posted videos about the strid itself. The place is beaufitul and i am looking forward to a snowy visit sometime!
Thanks so much for watching Jack a snacks, we are very familiar with your videos on the Strid and enjoyed watching them ourselves. Hope we did it justice for you 🙂✌️
I just found heard about the strid and needed to know more. This was the first video that came up about it. A wonderful video, thank you both, from Montana!
Welcome to the channel Josie 🤗❤️
Great video! The autumnal colours were amazing! I would've found that particular stretch of the river pretty scary for sure! Glad you both stayed safe! 😊
Thanks Jenny! We found it not as scary as we thought but when you know what it's really like you do take caution 🙈😅 the walk was really pretty though! Would definitely recommend it 👍
Spectacularly beautiful place... The most beautiful things often are the most dangerous, though, aren't they?
Back in the morning for a full watch ⌚️ 👌
Thanks guys see you tomorrow 😊 ❤️❤️
Amazing colours! Thanks for showing us this beautiful walk.
My dad was from Yorkshire and never told me about this place. Looks stunning in Autumn. Makes me wonder how many skeletons down below that never resurfaced 😮. Great job as usual 😊 loving your vids.
Glad we could bring you to the Strid 👍😊
There was another video by a young fella I’ve seen and he had an instrument measure The Strids depth at various points.
The deepest measurement he registered was 70 metres,I mean that’s over 200ft for a stretch of river that in places is only 2 metres wide.
Very scary.
Those results were far from accurate. A couple issues with it. The extremely aerated water messes with sonar. Sonar works by measuring how long it takes for sound to travel and reflect back from an object. This is based on the known speed of sound in calm water. With aerated water, that speed is different. Also, the device he used was being pulled by the current so the sensor on the bottom of the sphere was not pointing perpendicular to the river. It was pointing parallel to the river so it was essentially reading the horizontal "depth". This explains the significant depth difference between the calm and more turbulent sections.
True depth is probably more like 9 metres give or take - though once as a child we visited during a very dry year and it was several metres lower than normal and you could still see rock going down quite some way into the darkness with no hint of the bottom.
Kids used to regularly jump over it at one point (I believe they removed/blew up a bit of rock to stop it) once one fell in and a couple of people grabbed them - they were probably pretty lucky but it certainly isn't true no one who has fallen in has ever made it out.
My sister and I used to sit on one of the rocks with our feet in the main bit - I look back with horror now knowing what I do now - there is a tremendous amount of power just under the surface - not nearly enough to "suck you in" as some claim but if you were at the mercy of it no amount of strength or skill would save you - if you did go under the overhang you'd be pretty much done for.
Thank you for sharing this hike! I am in the US, and have always wanted to see how big the river is compared to the strid section. Wow!
Let's be honest, the scariest thing is the £15 parking 😭
I've heard and seen a lot about the strid. I'd love to go and see it, great video guys!
Free parking at Barden Bridge. £15 is daylight robbery
Fantastic video Hay and Kyle, I've been there lots of times, it's great for Wildlife too, thanks for sharing your walk with us atb Cheers Glenn it's a 👍from me
Wow what a place! The woodland as you entered, text book autumn 🍂 ❤️
Definitely was a wonderful time to visit! All of those colours were beautiful! 🍁🍂😊
Hey guys! It all starts out so innocent!!
Chuckling at your hair sticking out of the front of your cap Kyle! 😂
Hard to believe that massive river goes so narrow and deep, it is foreboding!!!! Mental how innocent it looks in places, like you could just hop across it! 😬😂🤣😂
Great vid guys!!!💕
Hey Karen 👋👋 yeah it looks all fine on the outside but then you remember is actually a pretty dodgy river 😂😂 hope you are doing well and any plans for a wild camp over Christmas? Thank you for watching!! 💖 🤗
@@HayandKyle I’m ok thanks, looking forward to a woodland camp next weekend then some time off over Christmas! Hope you both have a lovely Christmas! Xx
Fantastic video you two loved it, been on our radar to visit for years, you have popped it back on our radar! Have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕️ 😀 😊 ❤️
Thank you you lovely pair! 😊 Glad it's back on your radar! It would make a great loop around the abbey! ❤️ Take care both of you 🤗 Hayley and Kyle xx
Great video, looks really scary as I am 69 in two weeks I won't be visiting so thanks for showing it to me, can't wait for where you will take us next 😀 🐕🦺
Thanks Pam, think the thought of it is more scary than visiting 😂 although best to be safe!!! We have a very exciting adventure ahead of us very soon 🙏😅
These woodlands are lovely and easy to walk through . I went today to Wheeny Creek Upper Colo Reserve NSW Australua and we had to use ropes to get up the top of the track , to get to the caves . The scenery is quite beautiful . It was on private property and not in a national park . You can’t swim at the near by Colo River either . The Strid is beautiful and thank you for the video .
Oooh merch alert! ⚠️ 📢
The thing witht the Strid is it looks so easy to just jump across, which with the slippery rocks and uneven surfaces makes it much more dangerous than it is! I was there once, after days of heavy rain. The Strid was so fierce that day, it was scary.
Bardon Bridge a filming location for all creatures great and small 👌
We didn't know that! 😅 Thanks for the info!
Indeed
Afternoon Hay and Kyle! Happy Monday 😊 finally time for a tea break 📺
Welcome!! 😁❤️
@@HayandKyle what a video! Your at the danger zone now 😱
I had never heard of the Strid prior to about 2 weeks ago. I am a little fascinated by it since my discovery.
Brought back fond memories of courting the girl that became 'HM the Wife' LOL! Keep strolling guys 😀.
Nice we could bring back some fond memories 🤗 will keep strolling 👍🚶♀️🚶
Its Sunday and that means... roast dinner and another Hay&Kyle video !! yayyy :) big thumbs up, looks like you both had tons of fun!
Yes to the roast dinner!! 😅😁🍽️
Lovely footage and editing guys 👍 👌 worth of a big ole like tickle ❤️
Thanks Ceri and Kat 😊 ❤️
Incredible body of water! Looks extremely cool
There's a shorter strid in Niagara falls park, Oregon. I was there a few decades ago it was maybe 3' wide at the narrows point. It goes into a serious of three pools that spawning salmon frequently died trying to navigate. The signs stated that death or injury WOULD occur, not could occur. When a river does that, it's some scary water.
❤️ Another fantastic vlog, loved your little off camera moments that you included- heart warming🤗
There is so much folklore written about this place, the more that people repeat the stories the more the myth is perpetuated.
There is no written record of how many people actually died after falling in to the Strid, just as there is no written record of how many people have fallen in and survived but there are some.
People love to embelish stories which then creates a mysticism about a place which in turn then makes people want to visit and see/feel the "malevolent" presence they feel it exudes.
Stay safe and enjoy your travels.
People have fallen in and their bodies have been found two days later further down the river
Ay-up Hay and Kyle! I hope you’re both well? Ahh I must get myself to Yorkshire for an adventure - this place you’ve visited looks so cool! Thanks for sharing guys! :)
Thanks Lucy! 😊 Hope you had a great weekend 👍 loved the photos! Definitely get yourself out to Yorkshire you'll love it 😅 so many waterfalls and interesting spots to film and vlog 👍
😀😀😀Really nice sharing! My dear friend~ have a Monday~ : )
You guys make a wonderful family💚
So unassuming, yet deadly. If I'm ever able to see it in person, it will be from a distance.
We think that's the safest approach considering 😅
your guys both charming smell love your dog cute this place your go was nice scenery
The Strid at Bolton Abbey is the mist beautiful walk.
The colours were amazing! That river looked really scary!
Good video! Read a lot on this river section to try to understand its dynamic and you made a great job at showing various sections of the river.
Found your channel from a comment you left on another channel. Beautiful scenery and fall colors on this one. I am from the United States so it is always nice to see other countries around the world.
Ahh thank you Ben welcome to our channel! We mostly do the UK over here! 😊 glad you enjoyed our video! We put them out every couple of weeks 👍
Oh WOW!! Those gorgeous autumn colours, those woods look beautiful,❤️🧡 the Strid looks and sounds real scary, definitely wouldn't like to get too close to that😯 thank you for sharing another fantastic video, looking forward to seeing more 🤗😍❤️❤️
Thanks Nanny! ❤️ Glad you enjoyed the video as always 🤗
Great video. Looks lovely in autumn. Will add that to my bucket list and looking forward to the merch 🥰.
Thanks Angie 😁 glad you enjoyed the video 👍🤗
The Strid is one of my favourite places! Not been there in autumn but will have to put it on my list 😁
ATB 👩&🐕
Cheers!! 😊🤗
amazing looking woods, especially in Autumn. Another great video, really enjoyed learning about somewhere new that I had never even heard of before you made this video. Lets talk merch when I next see you also.
Thanks Harrison 👍 great spot for a walk if you are ever in Yorkshire 👍 there's even a cafe too and the lady that works there loves dogs ❤️ I'm sure Humphrey would get a few treats off her 😅 yes we need to talk merch for sure 👍
Loved it .. The colours were stunning.. yes very deceiving ,.. you wouldn't think was so dangerous.. never heard of it.. thanks for the visit. Enjoy yr festive season lv Ali/R.. merry xmas x 🧑🎄
Hi Ali and Ralph ❤️ we hadn't heard it until a few years ago! Merry Christmas to you both and hope you are keeping well 👍
@@HayandKyle.. yes thankyou and merry xmas .. praps youll be too busy now and be new year with some more trips ?... Look forward to what you get up too. Lv us x

@@HayandKyle wow cant wait x

Not forgetting that church bell button haha 🛎️ 😁❤️
Notification squad 🔔
Great location for autumn.🧡 The Strid did look really scary though!😱 It's amazing that such a place is here in Britain. Nice to see too, a path for all abilities! Bonus. 🤗 Thanks for sharing. Glad you stayed safe! ❤️😍
It's definitely worth going, wish we walked to the abbey it looked impressive from the road!! 😊 Thanks for the comment Mutti ❤️🤗
Fab film once again, can’t wait for the T shirt’s!
Looks like an amazing place to visit. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely be going here at some point. It looks like a really cool place to see!
Cheers mate 👍 definitely a place to see for sure!
Wow what a fantastic place, definitely wouldn't go any closer to the edge than you did! Love the colours but I'd like to see it in spring or summer as well, I'll certainly pop it on my list of places to visit, I have to say that the quality of your videos are absolutely superb, enjoyed this one.
Cheers Keith! 🤗
*i actually saw a Tom Scott video on this the other day and then you popped up there too haha. Its really quite worrying how dangerous it is*
The Strid-isn't that where the wide, smooth river kind of flips 90° and instead becomes narrow, fast and DEEP?
It's is indeed!! Very spooky!
I don't live too far from Bolton Abbey (lucky me). I walk there often. At 4:07 it isn't a bridge, It's actually an aqueduct. The Estate stretches from Barden Bridge all the way down to Devonshire Arms Hotel downstream near the roundabout, crossing the A59 road. I can never find a decent composition when photographing The Strid. The Mandarin Duck can often be seen on the river throughout the year, usually in pairs, and on the odd occasion, the elusive otter.
We noticed the ducks further up the river 👍 would have been great to see an otter, perhaps another time in the future maybe! 😊👍
@@HayandKyle I think you have to be there quite early in the morning to see the otters. Although saying that I've seen otters further down at Addingham in the middle of the day while fishing
Very beautiful video ❤😊🙏
Thank you guys 🤗
Awesome video, very well done!!! Y'all are good on camera, subbed!!! Greetings from the U.S.!!! 👍✌️
Ahh thanks mate! ☺️ We hope you enjoy the videos! 🙌
Beautiful old bridge!
Isn't it just! Very pretty! ❤️🤗
Just watched the strid video that is a scary piece of water😮
£15 😮😮😮😮 No way! Glad you found a free parking space 😃 The early bird n’ all that 😊
I really enjoyed this vid, definitely a place of interest worth exploring. This one’s going on the ‘to do’ list! I need to spend more time in Yorkshire, is a beautiful county.
Thanks Hay & Kyle 😎
Very nice video.... 👍 💞 ✔️
I've had some massive Chub out of the Wharfe, my Patterdales been in many times, not the Strid though. It needs to be respected.
I went there yesterday and filmed the strid close up which was alot more aggressive if you want to view it. I intend in going back after huge rainfall and see how vicious it is then
Can't imagine what that place is like after a heavy rainfall, probably even more bonkers and dangerous 🙈
@@HayandKyle oh it definitely is my friend, you can see the swirls in the water a lot more prominently, pretty scary to see really
🎥🎥👍👍👍👍👍⭐ love the video
Thank youuu 😅👍👍
love your videos. so wholesome but professional. come on YT algorithm, get them more views! keep up the good work!
Can you put in a good word for us?? 😅 Hehe thanks!!
I saw a shirt clip of the strid video on tiktok ,so I came here on yt and I saw this couple hehe I love the video and the accent too lovely to listen ❤️
Ahh thanks haha 👍😊 glad you enjoyed our video ☺️
This place looks unreal! Video is pure class 💛💛
Oooh risk it for a biscuit, I'm a sucker for a bourbon! 😋
Can't beat a custard cream though 😉 🍪
Thank you for a fun time 👍️✨

Brilliant video guys . Very beautiful.
I can't help but wonder how many murder victims have been disposed of there over the centuries. If what goes in gets beat and torn up getting through. It could make an autopsy difficult if not impossible.
Bellisimo Bolton Strit, me gusto ese puente antiguo. Gracias
I prefer the videos where people “risk it” 😀
Good
great place 👍 hope you had treats for pupper while you 2 where filling ya faces.
Yes he had plenty! 👍😅
What invisible stick do you use? I hope that makes sense or it’s going to sound like a really odd question.
The invisible stick is the insta360 oneX camera! The cameral edits out the stick in its software 👍😁 nifty little camera 👍
Really great videography, 100% death rate, and is one to keep away from the edge. Great vlog. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Chris 👍 yes definitely not worth the risk knowing those figures!
Water babies 👍
I read somewhere that every single person that has either slipped into or willingly gone into this river, has died. Every... single... one. That's mental.
The history of people falling in is as murky as the water. It's a fairly scary place if you know what it's capable of. Even scarier if you don't and you try to jump across it like people have in the past 😱 Thanks for watching, stay safe ✌️
I was there as a kid when someone fell in and survived so not every single one - it is extremely and deceptively dangerous however - if you are at the mercy of the currents under the surface it is dumb luck if you survive or not.
2nd 🥈🤭👍
Yes guys!! ❤️❤️
@@HayandKyle interested to watch this one Hay and Kyle, wish we had this time now! Be back later or ih the morning 🌄
It's definitely an interesting one 😅 ❤️ see you guys soon!
Streed is danger but very nice
Found your video on the Strid, all the way out here in Tent City, California. I'm coming across the pond to ride the Strid on an inner tube. Any takers?
SSSI 🤓 ❤️
🦦🌲🌳
Ay up 🦆..what a fantastic place.the woodland was beautiful...15 quid to park is a bit rich.thair be dragon's over the border🤣👌
😂😂 yeah thinking they're Chatsworth Christmas market with those prices 😱💸💸
@@HayandKyle they know how to change. Christmas Market is good tho
Definitely, we only found out this year that the parking £25 included entry to the market - always assumed it was entry fee on top by that time the market was over 😂🙈 looks like we'll have to wait another year!
@@HayandKyle it's a nice atmosphere the house looks fantastic with all the Dec's up
Ja mergulhei ai foi muito bom e divertido 😂
I like watching your videos on my smart TV.
please, could you activate the Arabic language translation in the subtitle so we can understand more about your trips.
Thank you so much
Is that a yellow Revolution Race coat?
Just wondering your thoughts about the coat?
Hi Phillip it's been quite a nice coat to be fair, has zips along the sides to make it breathable and it zips all the way up to the top of my neck so keeps the wind out 👍 😊 impressed with it 👍
@Hay and Kyle I have one aswell but a burnt orange colour, love the flexibility of it and I can zip it right up to my nose to keep warm and the inside collar is soft to feel against my cheeks.
P.s love your videos aswell 😀
They are cosy aren't they?! I was worried I'd feel a bit chilly in it but so far it's done a great job at keeping the wind off me! 👍😅 Thanks so much glad you are enjoying the vids!!
I hope you haven't filled your water bottle up from the river.
🤣🤣
I've never heard of it but the woods looks a nice place to visit with well kept paths
The Strid in places doesn't look particularly ominous so good to be warned about the dangers & view from a safe place
Look forward to seeing the merch, will there be more catalogue poses 😉
Will have to do more catalogue poses now (the more ridiculous the better?) 😂 Yeah the walk continues up to the abbey and looked pretty good! We didn't have the time to continue through!
@@HayandKyle Oh, yes go full on Zoolander 😁👍
Haha definitely 😁
The Honeymoon couple were found. Well their bodies were.
We read about that! What a shame ☹️
Alba gu Brath!
"anyone whos ever fallen in, has never been recovered..." *Lies dude, i was swimming in there yesterday!* 🤣 the rapids and speed of the water are super fun and not dangerous at all.
Yep we know how deep it is now how does deepest point is 60 m quite impressive roughly about 200 ft
Thanks for another great video!! Don't miss out = Promo-SM !
