December 12, 20232 yr Questions: 1. What is a "strid"? Is this an old English, Welsh, or Saxon word? 2. What is there of "scientific" interest? It looks like a deep creek.

December 12, 20232 yr Its the name for that stretch of river. Etymology[edit] From Middle English stryd, a byform of stryde, stride. See stride (noun). The noun term comes from the appearance that the river may be crossable with a stride.
December 12, 20232 yr Recently went up there, Bolton abbey estate is lovely! The strid is super dangerous, you definitely don’t want to take a dip in that. Folks have lost their lives in it, some never found. Rumoured to have many caves in that channel, which when you’re pulled into those, you ain’t getting out etc. The water is super aerated and apparently you sink fast + get pulled under quickly due to the currents. https://archive.is/qt2hu Edited December 12, 20232 yr by flightskyc
