Want to find the very best places to swim outdoors in South West England?

In Swimming Wild in South West England, award-winning author and adventurer Si?n Anna Lewis guides you to more than 50 of the finest beaches, tidal pools, rivers and lakes across the West Country. Several locations also feature tempting saunas, so you can extend the wellness benefits of your swim.

Each spot has been carefully selected to showcase the South West's remarkable variety, guiding you beyond the best-known locations to uncover hidden gems. Take a dip in the magical, secluded Woody Bay Tidal Pool in Devon; enjoy a longer, peaceful swim in the sparkling waters of Cornwall's Grebe Beach; or escape the crowds at Chapman's Pool - a stunning horseshoe-shaped cove in Dorset with beautifully clear water, ideal for swimming or snorkelling.

The adventures don't stop at the coast. Inland, you can float in the cool, clear waters of Exmoor's River Barle near Landacre Bridge in Somerset, or enjoy a sociable swim followed by a warming sauna at Court Farm Lakes in Gloucestershire.

Drawing on her extensive experience, Si?n shares clear, practical advice on access points, safety, tides and currents, conditions underfoot, and potential hazards. With guidance on essential kit, Ordnance Survey and custom maps, transport and parking details, and cafe recommendations for a well-earned post-swim treat, this book has everything you need.

Whether you're a seasoned wild swimmer or just starting out, Swimming Wild in South West England is packed with inspiration for your next adventure.
