Best in Staffordshire

River Churnet (nr Consall Station)

(A FIVE TRUNK location)

Location

There are a few swim spots near the Black Lion (Consall Forge) which is an canal-side pub (good beer and allow you to camp behind it in the woods). Go for a swim in the river rather than the canal.

TBC (someone said something about a weir).
