Tips

February 8, 2025

Hiking

Lovely place for a Wild Swim after a walk in the fells, great to look back on everything you’ve walked while swimming around. It does get deep after about 20 m and can be very cold especially in February when my Wife and her Sister did it. Take a warm drink and warm clothes to get into afterwards. If you just fancy the swim the car park at Buttermere is only 1/2 mile away.
