Tom Scott visits the Strid at Bolton Abbey in Yorkshire, a deceptively narrow stretch of river with dangerous currents. He covers its reputation and the 12th-century legend of the Boy of Egremont.
HN links it as the original, interesting video behind the 'deadliest river' stories and as an extreme river example.

Thank you, I was wondering where I knew this guy from: [VIDEO] To be sorta on topic, I lived in many countries and I had to get used to people mangling my name in the most creative ways. As long as there is some form of ID or customer reference, I don't care.
And by "reportedly," they mean "we heard it from a guy on YouTube who said immediately afterwards that it's unprovable." The original video is pretty interesting, and the link should probably go directly to there instead of a tabloid retelling. [VIDEO]
How about The Strid from the River Wharfe? While your river isn't likely that extreme, crossing unknown water is not on my top list of things to do. Tom Scott - [VIDEO] The Most Dangerous River in THE WORLD is HOW DEEP?! - [LINK] [LINK]
