Experts have revealed the best UK swimming spots- with The Lake District being named as one of the best places to visit. 

Located on the fabulous Ullswater, the Kailpot Crag is a regular cliff diving spot.

A short footpath from Sandwick through an amazing Lake District pine wood takes walkers out onto the crag.

The water may be cold but the crag is a perfect place for a wild swim. 

The outdoor experts also gave their top tips on how to stay safe whilst wild swimming.

Natalie Byrne, Content Marketing Manager at Blacks, says: “While it may be tempting to jump into a body of water in these temperatures, it is important that you understand your swimming abilities.

"Wild swimming can be and is very dangerous if you have not trained properly. Always pay attention to “No Swimming” signs and even if you have been swimming in the same spot for years, always be cautious, as open bodies of water can change significantly- even in a short period of time.”
