The weather turned out nice for a change and made our stroll from the impressive aqueduct, through Strid Wood, to the ruins of the ancient Bolton Priory an absolute joy. I know many of you are going to love this walk. I found myself at the end of the walk during golden hour, alone amongst the priory ruins as the whole landscape became bathed in light. It was quite magical. The Bolton Abbey Aqueduct is a large turreted bridge which crosses the River Wharfe between the Strid and Barden Bridge. It is a marvellous construction built to hide water pipes that carry water from the reservoirs of Upper Nidderdale to the cities of West Yorkshire. The Bolton Strid is the most dangerous strip of water in the world despite being just six feet wide. The area is unfathomably deep and has been recorded as being 65 metres deep (213 feet). Compare that to Malham Cove at 80m or Nelsons Column at 51m. Located between the Barden Tower and Bolton Abbey, what looks like a small unassuming mountain stream is anything but. The narrow gap is only an illusion as underneath lies a network of caves and tunnels that hold the rest of the river’s water creating a powerful undercurrent which will cause certain death to anyone unlucky enough to fall in. Bolton Priory, whose full title is The Priory Church of St Mary and St Cuthbert, Bolton Abbey, is a Grade I listed parish church of the Church of England. There has been continuous worship on the site since 1154, when a group of Augustinian canons moved from their original community in nearby village of Embsay and started construction of the present building, which is now situated within a scheduled monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.
