Wild Swimming – Carding Mill Valley Reservoir

Located a short stroll from the top car park at the National Trust’s Carding Mill Valley. The reservoir is accessed from a steep stone man-made “beach” area, and gets deep quite close to the edge. It’s shaded by silver birches and overlooked by the beautiful peaks of the Long Mynd. It gets the sun in the morning. It has wild swimming safety notices and emergency equipment, and NT rangers close by. A lovely place to swim.
