Revealing the peaceful hidden swimming holes around two of the southwest's busiest cities, this book guides you to 28 enchanting wild swimming spots, all within an hour's journey of Bristol or Bath. This expertly curated collection of walks features a diverse range of swims, from a tranquil dip in secluded Orchardleigh Lake near Frome, amid the stunning grounds of a country estate, to a playful swim in the River Wye, in Herefordshire, where you can launch into the water from rope swings and ride the rapids. Elsewhere you'll find hidden beaches and plunge pools along the Little Avon, in Gloucestershire, a swim among water voles, in the foothills of the Mendip Hills, and even an invitation to take the plunge at the White Spring Well at Glastonbury, a site steeped in ancient legends and spiritual energy. Each walk includes detailed directions, maps and information on swim suitability and safety, and the guide also contains thoughtful insights into the area's rich history and natural beauty, ensuring an unforgettable adventure for walkers and wild swimming enthusiasts.
