Back by popular demand – and for good reason – the Loughrigg, Lakes & Lilies Wild Swim is one of the most-loved Adventure Swim Days in the Lakes. Hosted by local wild swimming experts Swim the Lakes, this guided experience offers the perfect blend of gentle walking and scenic swimming in some of the Lake District’s most magical waters.
