Womens Social Stroll: Sharrah Pool Walk and Wild Swim, Dartmoor

### Date & Time

🕒 Duration: Approx. 3 hours (We will be taking our time to enjoy the woods and relax by the water, so we won't be rushing!)

### About This Stroll

Escape into the trees with us for a relaxed, social evening stroll through some of Dartmoor’s most enchanting woodland.

Starting from Newbridge, we will follow a winding path alongside the beautiful River Dart, walking under the canopy until we reach the stunning Sharrah Pool. Sharrah Pool is a truly magical, deep-water clearing hidden in the woods—perfect for dipping your toes in or enjoying a brave wild swim if you feel like splashing out!

This is a casual, out-and-back walk designed for connection. We’ll hang out at the pool for a bit, so please feel free to bring along some snacks, a flask of tea, or your swimwear. If you don't want to swim, just sitting on the rocks and listening to the river with a friendly group of women is a lovely way to spend a few hours.

### The Details

• Distance: ~4 miles (7km total, out-and-back)
