Swim & Sauna

Tucked within the wild acres of Elmore Estate lies our ancient spring-fed lake

Known by some as Madam’s Pond, others, the Bottomless Pool or simply, magic. Clear, fresh and alive with nature, it’s the perfect place to experience the invigorating joy of wild swimming.

Just a short wander from the treehouses, you’ll find not only the lake but also our snug Scandinavian sauna; made for toasty retreats before or after a cold plunge.
   

Why take the plunge?

Wild swimming isn’t just a dip!

Cold water immersion is known to boost circulation, reduce inflammation, lower stress and lift the spirits. Add in a deep sweat in the sauna and you’ve got a Nordic-style thermal cycle: hot, cold, rest, repeat. It’s blissfully energising in summer and soul-stirringly magical in winter.

The lake and sauna are open most of the year.

Booking

Booking is essential, we are unable to offer walk-ins.

Nestled within the rewilding landscape of Elmore Wild, our wild swimming and sauna experiences are designed to offer space to slow down, reconnect with nature, and restore both body and mind. Whether you are joining us as part of a group or seeking a more private experience, we are pleased to cater to a range of visitors.

Private sessions are available by request Monday - Saturday and offer exclusive use of the facilities for 90 minutes. We can accommodate groups of between 2–12 guests.

While our facilities are strictly for those aged 18 and over, supervised dogs and children are very welcome to relax on the bank and enjoy the surrounding landscape.

Group Sessions

Start your day with an invigorating dip and the warmth of our Scandinavian sauna.

Our weekly group sessions offer a chance to slow down, reconnect with the natural world and enjoy the restorative contrast of cold water and heat alongside others.

Sessions take place twice a week:

Wednesdays, 8:00-9:00am - the perfect way to start the day before work.

Saturdays, 9:00-10:00am - a relaxed weekend reset.

Each session has 12 bookable spaces, creating a friendly, small-group experience where there's plenty of room to enjoy the water and sauna at your own pace.

Whether you're joining us for your first wild swim or returning for a regular dose of fresh air and fresh water, you'll leave feeling refreshed, revived and ready for whatever the day brings.
