The perfect river best for a romantic dip or thoughtful walk is the Wharfe River in the region of Yorkshire in northern England. The river breezes and weaves past stony beaches, tall trees, and bright green boulders covered with moss for 65 miles.
At a point, the river weaves past the pleasant Bolton Priory from the 12th-century. Though the river also has a disreputable history perfect for a horror movie, especially at the portion beside the priory known as the Bolton Strid.
It is known as the Bolton Strid because the water is so dangerous that if someone mistakenly slips into the river, it is improbable that they will ever come back. Certainly, as reported by local legend, 100 percent of the people who have dropped into the Bolton Strid have lost their lives - and most of them, their bodies have never been retrieved.
