This revised and expanded third edition of Wild Things' seminal guide to wild swimming in Britain is your passport to adventure. Leading you to more than 500 magical wild swimming spots in Britain's hidden corners, this latest edition features over 100 new locations, as well as updated information on water quality, access, safety and getting started. Discover secret waterfalls, secluded lakes and crystal-clear rivers perfect for a refreshing dip. Learn to identify riverside wildlife, find wild foods and even build a woodland sauna. Swim with otters in Devon, go river-tubing in Yorkshire and night-swim under the stars in Oxfordshire.
Take a dip in the mystical St Nectan's Kieve in Tintagel, where legend says King Arthur's knights were baptised. Explore the depths of Wast Water, England's deepest lake (rumoured to have an underwater gnome garden) and discover the secluded beauty of
Llyn Glaslyn, nestled beneath the towering peaks of Snowdonia.
