An exciting stretch of the Wye narrowing through rocky cliffs. Downstream are safe white sandy bays. Upstream the water deepens through a small gorge with rock formations. Dangerous in high water.

Clear water that shelves off rather quick. Water flows well into shallow rapid areas. I personally would not advise it for young children or weak swimmers. I swam this in August 2013 and it proved a nice area for a picnic and relaxing afternoon. I did not swim out of my depth as a local informed me of a few deeper pot holes in the river that could prove challenging with under tow. Overall great spot, with clear water, but just be wary of great depths that appear with no warning.
