Wild Swimming

We’re set for a heatwave this weekend 🥵 Anyone making any last minute plans? The current temperature has us dreaming about where to cool off 🌊

How about a paddle in the Monnow at Skenfrith? Set in the grounds of a 13th-century castle ruin 🏰 this popular swimming spot has an island and a great rope swing!

There’s plenty of free parking and lovely grassy lawns, perfect for a picnic 🍓
