Buckstones Jum & Waterfalls

About

The Buckstones Jum and Waterfalls swim takes us just down the road from our Ambleside base to the hamlet of Rydal. This is a wonderful hike up to the popular Buckstones Jum and the waterfalls that lie downstream. A "Jum" is an old dialect word for a stretch of beck that never freezes over as it "Jumbles" down the rocks.

This is an adventure for the young at heart, with a fascination for water and the natural world. We will spend the morning jumping into pools, exploring, and drinking tea. There is no finer way of passing the time in our opinion!

This adventure swim is an easy paced and enjoyable day out; suitable for anyone who has a love of swimming and walking. As ever, our experienced Swim the Lakes swim guides will be there providing safety cover, local knowledge, and plenty of tea and cake.
