Bit of a trek to get there – you can’t park nearby so you have to hike down the valley to it, but it’s a great spot.

Two streams of icy clean, coppery moorland water meet at a bridge and tumble into a deep plunge pool. You can leap off a ledge if you dare. Further down stream is another pool, equally deep, equally stony cold.
It can get a little busy on the few hot days summer days we have. Try it in spring. Try it in autumn, the water is no colder then.
