Which British wild swimming spot would you most love to plunge into?
From Lake District tarns to Cornish coves, the UK has gone wild for cold-water dipping. Rank these chilly delights from 'first one in' to 'I'll hold the towels'.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Fairy Pools, Isle of Skye
A series of icy turquoise pools tumbling down from the Cuillin mountains. Bracing enough to make you question every life decision in the best possible way.
B
Hampstead Heath Ponds, London
Where Londoners swap the Tube for a topless splash among ducks and dragonflies. Surprisingly serene for somewhere ten minutes from a Pret.
C
Kynance Cove, Cornwall
Turquoise water and dramatic serpentine cliffs that make you forget you're in the country of grey drizzle. Until you actually get in.
D
Buttermere, Lake District
A glassy lake ringed by fells where you can swim alongside curious sheep watching from the shore. Peak Romantic poet energy.
E
River Wye, Herefordshire
A meandering river swim through proper English pastoral countryside. Ideal for a leisurely float followed by a pint in a beer garden.
