Wild Swimming Walks Yorkshire

My next book, Wild Swimming Walks Yorkshire, is nearly here! I am counting down to publication day on April 1st, one month today…

Wild Swimming Walks Yorkshire

I have plunged in fairytale waterfalls; dipped in Yorkshire’s favourite rivers; swum across shimmering moorland tarns and splashed in the waves of the North Sea to seek out the best swim spots and the most beautiful walks to reach them.

Wild Swimming Walks Yorkshire, is published by Wild Things Publishing on April 1st and includes 28 invigorating wild swimming adventures in Yorkshire's spectacular Dales and Moors. It includes directions, maps, points of interest and insights into the area's history and ecology, along with practical guidance and recommendations for cosy local pubs and cafes along each route.

This book was created with the help of a wonderful wild swimming community and I am extremely grateful to the many like-minded people from the Facebook group, Wild Swimming Walks Yorkshire, who joined me during a year of research to ‘test-swim’ some of the walks.

These shared adventures played a huge part in the enjoyment of creating the book. I am planning to organise a few more walks around the launch of the book. If you’d like to join us, you can find regular updates on swim walk meet-ups by joining the Wild Swimming Walks Yorkshire Facebook group, or by following me on Instagram @sarahbanksphoto.

Here are a few photographs of some of the adventures, which I hope give a flavour of what you can expect from the book. It is available to pre-order from all good bookshops and online and you can also pre-order an author signed copy here!
