Visited in October 2022! Thought I had already reviewed sorry. Awesome spot once you find it - access across the fields from the main road is easier than the riverside route if it’s been raining a lot . Lovely backdrop and history of the ‘church’ is interesting. Easy access into the still water, dep in the middle - definitely worth the walk .

The water is almost still and after a muddy sloped access, is quite deep in the middle. The water does link up to the river, but you couldn't swim that way due to depth and obstacles. The access can be really slippy in winter and as a more nervous person, I have to take it really slowly. There are flat spaces to leave dry things in a hollow near the water. There is a stretch you can swim up and down.
