We swam here 2 times in 2013: good sun, shallow entrance. Public place with lots of foot traffic…toilets a walk down the towpath at the lock..

We found the best spot is right at the end of the island as here the ground slopes gently into the river, relatively shallow until quite far out, but beware of stronger currents coming from either side of the island. Bit silty but water quality is still good. Again, good for kids, but not a quiet spot!
