An unexpected dip (aren’t they always the best?) when the river was so enticing, just downstream from White Mill in the River Stour. A little weedy, but very pleasant swim with beautiful surroundings. Swans nearby so I’d be a bit more nervous during breeding season. I think a swim from here down to Corfe Mullen could be lovely, with obliging friends/family to meet you with dry clothes and follow with pub lunch!

The shallows by the bridge are ideal for the kids to play and explore. Lovely area for picnic but beware the friendly horse who lives there my fancy a sandwich too!
Go 500m downstream and there is another easy entry point, gravel shallows which drop into the deeper waters. There are some weeds but also clear waters. Take a mask and snorkel and watch the fish and invertebrates amongst the fronds.
