Magical’ Lake District pool ranked as one of the UK’s best hidden gems

Planning a trip to the Lake District soon? If you are heading out on a walk, this hidden treasure is one to look out for.

The Lake District is full of beautiful lakes and streams, but the secret spots are often the most special, offering peace and quiet away from the busy areas.

This spot might just be one of the best hidden gems in the Lake District...

We shared on Instagram: “Hidden in the Langstrath Valley, this deep pool is popular with wild swimmers and even thrill-seekers who like to cliff jump.

“The water is freezing cold but crystal clear, surrounded by dramatic fells and rushing streams, making it a true hidden gem.”

Take a look at the video below and let us know what you think?

Remember - LeaveNoTrace!

As with anywhere outdoors, kindly keep these areas pristine and wild by taking all trash with you. The amount of complaints we have seen since the pandemic is crazy. It's really not that hard to take your rubbish with you!

Litter tends to spread, so if you see any and are able to pick it up and dispose of it outside the hidden gem, it will help keep the area tidy.
