With the British weather still not warming up for skins swimming (well for me at least). Reconnect with nature with wild swimming. Biking and hiking. The wetsuits did us proud. Great designs and high-quality finish mean they will look great on your changing robe, towel or bag. There is a great parking spot just 2 minutes walk from the lake side. Stone circles. Just before you get to Bassenthwaite Lake turn left (B5291) and then first left again to continue on the B5291. The Lake District is well known for it’s amazing scenery, quaint towns and villages and spectacular walking. Coniston Water. For those looking for something refreshing in every sense our Wild Swimming activity on the Armathwaite Hall estate is a must-try. See other events.
