Episode 6: secret swim spots near major roads White Mill, River Stour

Just 10 minutes from the A31 near Wimborne, this swim spot is a real gem with clear water and a stunning bridge as prizes for your efforts. This is the sixth video in a series about finding peaceful swimming wilderness close to major roads or cities.

Park for free near National Trust property White Mill in the Kingston Lacy Estate, walk back towards the mill and go through the gate into the field before the bridge to follow the footpath. It is about a 5 minute walk to the get in. Exact location of the swim is detailed here: https://wildswim.com/white-mill

The filming was done on a GoPro HER07 Black.
