Sharrah Pool – a 50m channel of crystal clear water flanked on either side by large smooth sunbathing rocks. You also enjoy a walk through ancient woodland to reach this secluded swimming area.
Walking – although it is a lovely walk, it is quiet difficult if you are not experienced at navigating on the moor, so more suited to experienced walkers.
