Muirton Pen
A clear turquoise river swimming spot on Driver's River at Muirton Bridge, run by T&O Events + RiverSports. There is a rope swing, a stone diving platform, picnic tables, and a bar and kitchen on site, and the spot is lit with string lights at night. Sundays are the popular day.
Getting there
Easy by road. It is on the A4 at Muirton, beside the bridge, near Manchioneal. Free entry; they ask visitors to support the bar and kitchen instead. It usually closes around 9pm, but listings disagree, so call first. Avoid the river after heavy rain. Not formally re-checked since Hurricane Melissa, so confirm it is open before you go.
