Empty white-sand beaches below castles, and the clear pools of the upper Tyne and Coquet. Hattie tracks 42 wild-swim spots across Northumberland — 39 sea spots and 3 rivers — each with a live verdict before you get in.
Every Northumberland 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.
