Walk besides the river Dove for just over 2 miles before getting to Ilam Rock which is a great wild swimming spot. I parked in Dovedale car park, where there are toilets and depending on when you visit, there are usually some refreshments here too. It's easy to see why this is one of the of the Peak District's most popular spots.
I would say this walk is suitable for most people in dry conditions, but please be aware that the stepping stones can sometimes become flooded after heavy rainfall, making it very difficult to get by.

Looked a ice walk in and someone has gone to a lot ot trouble putting in that boardwalk along the riverbank, very well done to them. Impressive how you went straight into the water, must have been baltic, even in mid summer when I go in I have to acclimatize myself first 🥶. Oh Mrs Metalman loves a hot cranberry drink on a cold day too, good to see you back out again, cheers Alan

Thankyou Alan, yes you definitely get used to the cold water though, I find it easier to just get in and get swimming. A lovely spot, and hot cranberry is the best on a cold hike!! 😁😁 very pretty part of the peaks! 🤩

You should do a video on Lumsdale Falls at Matlock. It’s only a short walk but the waterfalls are spectacular and I’m sure it would be a great excuse to get your swim suit out 🤣. The falls aren’t open at the weekend, only in the week at the moment. Great channel btw, keep up the good work. 👍
@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling
I loved the hike, but as for the swim, there is no way I'd get in there.😳 I bet it was definitely 'fresh,' to say the least. But kudos for doing it, Char. Thanks for sharing.

@@barefoot_ventures I’m determined to get more dips in this year and make the walks about the swim. Have a peek at our latest video. We went in the mini loch at the top of the old man of Storr on Skye last week but it was so cold. How long does it take for the body to adapt? Pretty funny the sea was better. 😂😂😂

It is a beautiful place. I remember cycling there, from tamworth, with a school friend back in 1990. I still cycle so definitely wouldn't mind doing it again. It's amazing how the landscape changes so much once north of Ashbourne. I've been a couple of times since and there's quite a few caves.

So nice around dovedale, I guess where you swim is about 4 ft deep, do you have to be careful where you put your feet in river's, ? The Peak District is a nice attraction, and so are you, lovely vid, will send you a coffee treat very soon, appreciation for all your great vids and pics 🥰

@barefoot_ventures Год назад
I usually have shoes on so don’t usually worry too much about where I put my feet, although you really don’t want to be kicking rocks.. it’s nasty. A lovely area.. and yes about 4ft I’d say, i always prefer to be able to stand up.. just incase things get sketchy.. for safety 😁😁 Thankyou so much.. that is very kind of you.. hope you have a wonderful week 🙃
