This walks takes you to Crazywell pool the most direct route and therefore means you can get back to the car after your swim in less time. This short circular route follows a beautiful path along the edge of the plantation, with views on a good day to Down Tor, and then over the open moor to this hidden gem. On the way back we will take a route through the woods visiting the beautiful Leather Tor bridge before returning to the car park. There will be plenty of time for a dip or longer swim depending on your experience and preference. The pool itself is 100 meters long so lengths are even a possibility. Once dressed and warmed up we will begin the journey back and stop for snack/lunch on the way back. This is an excellent introduction to Wild Swimming on Dartmoor (please note experience of wild/cold water swimming is required) and while the walk to the pool is slightly uphill most of the way this means the walk back is downhill or flat.
