Gaddings dam
The highest beach in England is an absolute wild swimming bucket list must! Originally a hidden gem, this local spot has become increasingly popular in recent years - and it's not hard to see why. With its warm waters in summer and sandy shores, it's the perfect place to spend an afternoon, with plenty of water for anyone wanting to have a decent swim. Not to mention, there is a pub at the bottom of the beach where you can enjoy a refreshing drink after your swim! The Sheperds Rest Inn directly to the north of Gaddings Dam is the easiest place to start from as there is parking available there and it is only approximately a 500m walk. However, there are footpaths leading to the dam from all directions so it is possible to plan a circular walking route starting and ending from anywhere nearby.
