To enter wild water is to cross a border. You pass the lake’s edge, the sea’s shore, the river’s brink – and you break the surface of the water itself. In doing so, you move from one realm into another: a realm of freedom, adventure, magic, and occasionally of danger.

Llyn Bochlwyd is one of my favourite spots. Go early in the morning or late in the evening when there's no walkers around and it's a little piece of heaven.

Boscombe Beach is also lovely and a little quieter - I'm not hugely confident in the sea but it was calm and sunny
