Pop down from the Bath-Bristol cycle path here for a swim in the Avon - there's a wide meadow to sunbathe in and a spot where it's easy to get into the water.

Nice views from the bridge during a sunny day. Perfect place for a relaxed day out

Large open meadows next to a stretch of river perfect for a wild swim. Stay on the cycle path past the 'saltford' sign (if coming from Bristol) and take the footpath which goes down from the far side of the bridge over the river
