River Lugg Swim, Bodenham, Herefordshire
The Lugg is one of several idyllic rivers that rise in Wales and flow down through England along the Welsh Marches. At Bodenham you are spoilt for choice, with long sandy beaches and river pools [see footnote]. Follow the path behind the church and cross the bridge to find the beaches downstream. Afterwards head for the village of Hope Under Dinmore, a mile to the north on the Marches Way, and visit the superb castle and gardens of Hampton Court. For picnic supplies, the yummy Monkland Cheese Dairy is excellent for replacing any fat you burned off during your swim.
