Minster Lovell, Windrush

A small, clear, pretty Cotswold river running through the romantic grounds of the ruins. Just deep enough to swim (1m) with deeper section above weir and footbridge in meadows beyond dovecote.

Hi
Is there any chance of a swim down the windrush til it meets the Thames?

Absolutely fantastic place to go for the day, great picnic, great place to use your fishing net, and great place for the kids to have a cool off in the water…

Amazing location. Had some trouble finding it. When you get to Minster Lovell, look for the Church. When you find that walk around the back and through the ruins. You’ll see the river then.

- Hi,
  Would this bit of river be deep enough for practice open water swimming do you think?

  - Hi Swan here today, deep enough for a short swim but not deep/long enough for practising endurance swimming.
