In summer this is normally a lovely spot near the grand old brick bridge with gravel river beach to one side for a gentle swim in the River Wye.
In general the river here in summer is slow and cooling. There is a deeper hole nearer the bridge on the beach (west) side of the river (normally little or no flow in this but use your common sense if it’s been raining previously – even in summer). You can normally walk right across the river to the other side on the gravel for most of this site though.
The more athletic can also swim upriver from the beach to the wide concrete shelf at the foot of the central bridge support and dive back in from it.
Sometimes families come just to paddle and sit on the river beach or in the field just up above the river at this site.
You can normally park just east of the bridge opposite Brobury House Gardens and walk down over the old bridge (single track with passing places) to the access stile/footpath just west of the bridge.
For those who fancy a pint and something to eat after their exercise, there’s the Red Lion Pub up the hill on the west side at the ‘T’ junction with the B4352.
