Shallow river and ford at confluence of two Weys. Paddling. Quintessential village green, cricket matches and pub. Deeper below ford and upstream of bridge. PARISH COUNCIL HAS RECENTLY DECIDED TO ADD ‘NO SWIMMING’ SIGNS.
Place Categories: River Swims and Wild Swim.
Had lovely family day there today (A lovely sunny Sunday). Water cold, and swimming not encouraged, but for paddling with kids glorious. 4 families there in morning, went back in afternoon and was busier but not awful at all, with a good crowd scattered round the cricket. Pub not that great, sadly.
Lovely area, beautiful village green etc. Council have recently erected a rather large ‘no swimming’ sign so this combined with a strong current on the day we went meant we didnt swim there on this occasion! However, water is clear and bottom looked relatively even.
