FAQ

Searching for a nature-intensive getaway? Look no further! These back-to-basics sites focus on natural surroundings and the traditional camping experience.

Wild swimming is the practice of swimming in natural bodies of water, such as lakes or rivers, rather than swimming pools. One of the many wonderful ways of enjoying the world around you!

It's good to be prepared before you take a dip! Remember to check the current, depth and temperature of the water before diving in - a safe swim is a fun swim.

The Peak District and the Lake District are both excellent locations to safely explore the surrounding lakes and rivers.
