The Story
Join us on an open water swim in the River Wye in Herefordshire. Situated in the Wye valley of Outstanding Natural Beauty the small journey to the swim site takes in one of the largest elluvial flood planes in Great Britain (the River Lugg Flats) and the Confluence of the River Wye at Mordiford. This stretch between Mordiford and Fownhope is popular in Summer. With woodlands to explore within the Woolhope Dome a 5,000 hectare expanse of ancient woodland in addition it's a magical spot practically on the doorstep of the city of Hereford some 5/6 miles East of its centre. A pleasant afternoon we met old friends unexpectedly kayaking from Hereford. The plan was to swim a bit of distance but alas the River Wye beckoned a more relaxed approach on this occasion. A gentle swim and meeting of meandering minds was the order of the day in place of a calorie burn. Indeed, the only thing burning on this particular day in Herefordshire's Wye Valley was the sun.
