The women of the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond Association, an open-air swimming club dating from 1926, present their favourite walks-with-a-dip from across southern and eastern England. Featuring secret lakes, river meadows and sandy seaside beaches, these are perfect for escapes from London without a car, as every site is accessible by train. This 1930s retro-styled book includes detailed descriptions, personal anecdotes, natural history, photography and 28 vintage maps.
