15 of the Most Dangerous Places to Visit

Bolton Strid. England

The Bolton Strid, a continuation of the River Wharfe in Yorkshire, is a picturesque river typical of the idyllic English countryside, but with one huge blemish. Everyone, absolutely everybody, who has swum in its waters has perished. The Strid itself looks harmless, quaint and even inviting, but its depth and strong undercurrent make this brook-like body of water, the deadliest river. Worst still, few bodies were ever recovered. A word to the wise: Don’t go fly fishing here.
