River Wharfe

River Wharfe is in The Yorkshire Dales National Park in England.

The River Wharfe flows through the beautiful limestone scenery of North Yorkshire for many miles with notable sections including The Strid, a series of dangerous rapids in contrast to the wide and sleepy section of the River Wharfe as it passes the ruins of Bolton Abbey.
