Our favourite spots for a dip! A guide to the best wild swimming spots here in the Cotswolds:
🌿 Minster Lovell - the River Windrush flows by here, passing the ruined remains of the old Minster Lovell Hall and dovecote. Beautiful swim spots and shallow waters here, and just 15 minute drive from our hotel @doubleredduke
🚣 Buscott Weir - just outside Lechlade, this picturesque weir has a natural deep pool ideal for confident swimmers!
🌊 Stonesfield - go for a paddle in the River Evenlodethe. A footbridge leads to a shallow bay, clean water, and local scenery worth exploring. Close by to Blenheim Palace!
