    Tips

    An enchanting spot on the edge of Dartmoor, the meeting point of these two rivers is great for wild swimming and having a picnic. Mossy rocks, gnarled trees and exceptionally clear water make the confluence quintessentially Dartmoor. While not particularly long rivers, both have their sources in the national park.

    If you do swim here, be very mindful of both the current and the temperature, which is always cold and can be quite shocking when the air in warm.
