England’s deepest lakes and mountain tarns — the heartland of UK wild swimming. Hattie tracks 19 wild-swim spots across Lake District — 2 sea spots, 2 rivers and 15 lakes — each with a live verdict before you get in.
Every Lake District spot draws on the official feeds Hattie checks through the day: storm-overflow (sewage) reports straight from the water companies, the regulator's bathing-water classifications, river levels, tides, wind and rainfall. Tap any spot for the live picture, the data behind it, and what other swimmers have reported.
