Wild Swimming Walks: Lake District

28 Lake, River and Waterfall Days Out

Pete Kelly

Each title in the Wild Swimming Walks series provides comprehensive directions, photographs and a map for 28 hiking routes that offer the opportunity to take a dip. Following safety advice and a general introduction to the landscape of the Lake District, this volume presents walks that vary in length from about 4 to 10 miles across locations with links to Cumbria’s culture and heritage, such as Coniston, setting for Swallows and Amazons; a scale of Scafell Pike with a swim in the upper Esk; and the River Derwent near the picturesque Castle Crag.
