SWIMMING WILD IN THE LAKE DISTRICT by Suzanna Cruickshank (Vertebrate £17.99)

This beauty of a book highlights the best wild swimming locations in the Lake District, from the tourist hotspot of Windermere (above) to the hidden gem that is Bassenthwaite Lake. 

Suzanna Cruickshank, one of the country’s leading wild swimming instructors, offers practical advice on safety, equipment and, most importantly, the best pubs to warm up in afterwards, alongside breathtaking photographs of one of Britain’s most beautiful regions. 

You can practically hear that famous British maxim: it’s all right once you’re in!
