Wild Swimming Spot in Exmoor National Park

Swim shoes/boots - it’s quite shallow also so not able to fully swim but great for a cool off dip

Tip by

4.56 km

Between 1845 and 1857, there was a mine here, next to the River Barle, that initially produced copper and later switched to iron production. Now, only a few remnants remain, such as some stones from the worker's cottages.
