After our enjoyable swim in Rydal Water my daughter and I wanted to go wild swimming again. This time in the River Kent nearer to home. So we headed down to Sedgwick where there are some good pools for swimming. The water levels there are very low at the moment so it reveals the way the river has carved a passage through the rocks:
Although this looks stunning its not a safe place to swim as its tricky to get in and out of the water. So we walked along the river bed to find a more suitable spot:
We had to walk a long way on what would normally be under the water:
There were still some fast flowing waterfalls that provided noise as well as a lovely view:
Eventually above a waterfall we found a calm, deeper pool that was a safe spot to enter the water in:
It was nice in the water but a tad chilly and not deep enough to swim so we moved further up the river to a sunnier spot with deeper water:
Apart from when we disturbed the debris on the bottom the water was amazingly clear:
Here is a video of some of our water adventure:
I wonder where we will swim next?
