A wonderful swim. As the book says, you get a real sense of the ancientness and the magic of the place. Came here early September after a lovely swim at Buckstone’s Jum, you simply walk down from it along the river. Upon arrival, you feel like you’ve discovered a secret swimming hole, completely hidden from the world. Definitely worth the scramble down from Buckstone’s Jum!
