Why Go wild?

What people say...

"A calm oasis away from a world of hectic! Always a warm welcome from Pip and her various livestock! Not to mention sitting by the fire for a chat afterwards - highly recommended 5 stars!"

"Had my first swim this morning at your ‘magical’ lake - beautiful peaceful setting, lovely clear waters and a very friendly warm welcome - thank you!"

"Escape to the Lake is well named! It’s a little peaceful slice of nature that soothes the mind and soul. Wild swimming without the worries of pollution and flooding. I’ve loved every visit."

"What a beautiful spot and such a warm welcome (there's even a roaring fire pit to warm up and chat around after a swim) always from Pippa, Will and family + Hugo the dog and a "herd" of guinea fowl. It's been such a huge pleasure swimming at Escape, especially when there are so few places to swim that aren't affected by the weather in the Malvern area. Really grateful. Thank you."

"Escape has to be the most relaxing place to swim by some margin! A perfectly sized sheltered lake with two islands and shallow sides is a great introduction to outdoor swimming and plenty of scope beyond. Warm up after chatting around the firepit, with dogs around your feet and taking in the wonderful surroundings and many cute farm animals. Round this off with Pip and Will who are the most genuine and welcoming hosts ever, and its hard to leave."
