Peaty water, clean from the mountain, this is the most popular and accessible Dart swimming location, especially in summer. Also known as Deeper Marsh, it has been a bathing place for generations. Grassy flats lead to rocky river shore, deeper on far side with high cliff behind.

We were here in April and it was nearly deserted and just lovely. The deep clear water provides for a good swim against the current and for excitement go down the water shoot. The water below the shoot is fast moving in the main current but out of that you can swim round and back onto the water shoot. Such fun!

Lovely place to swim upstream against the current endlessly, but avoid it in the summer as it’s overrun with people and, sadly, litter. That’s the reason for the four star rating.
Downstream is a great water-shoot where the current speeds up and curves round the bend.
