Barefoot and Bower

About

Wild swimming in our beautiful woodland lakes has been enjoyed since the early 80’s, however we have seen a massive boom in the activity over the last few years. Whether you are a keen wild swimmer for mental and mediative wellbeing or are a keen open water competitor: swimming in our lakes can offer you a great experience. Calm Water Lake (Upper Lake) is around an acre in size, whilst Kingfisher Lake (Lower Lake) is a little smaller, very private, but equally as magical, surrounded by ancient woodland. We have wild sauna and swim sessions throughout the year, ran by Kerry from Hehku Wild Wellbeing. They run mostly every other weekend, but for the most up to date calendar, visit the Hehku Instagram page. Hehku Wild Wellbeing uses a pop-up wood fired sauna tent, to be able to bring an authentic finnish sauna experience in to the heart of the forest, by being totally accessible and portable. This means we can get close to nature and be completely off-grid. Perfect for Barefoot and Bower.
