Tips

Black Moss Pot is a pool on Langstrath Beck where the water cascades into a small ravine. With high rock walls and a deep pool to jump into, it's is a popular swimming spot, especially in the summer months when the water is warmed considerably on its slow journey along the valley. Just to note, though, the spot is synonymous with skinny dipping.

Glorious swim spot. You can climb in by clambering down the rocks if you’re careful, or join the locals by jumping off the 15ft cliff. The water is crystal clear - fun to snorkel!

An interesting deep pool that is suitable for swimming. Good rock formation for jumping in from.
