Description
A gentle river swim between two weirs. Park at Carlton Lees car park. £5 but free after 6pm. about 10 min walk to entry point. swim 'up' river, but very little current, then back to point of entry. Reasonable place for newbies, but lovely for experienced swimmers too. Plenty of sheep, deer, ducks and herons. VERY popular area for non swimmers during good weather, lots of families and groups that usually leave lots of litter sadly. Suggest wearing swim shoes. Technically swimming not permitted.

A gentle stomp in - sensible shoes/boots recommended as can be very wet/slippy. Plenty of good access points, but prepare to get a little muddy! Keep an eye out for herons, coromorants, oyster catchers and of course the Chatsworth deer. Also a great spot to watch the hot air balloons during the Chatsworth Fair.
