There's different depths slightly further down (when walking in water) even up to waist, current is not strong. A few steps along the bank to find a perfect place to change. On the opposite side, a sort of foot path just ends and than it's just bushes and forest.
Location
Getting there
Probably best to walk the length of the trail, takes about 20 min. I don't know if the car park on the map can be used but the big gate into the park seemed closed (but probably easily opened from inside)
Accessibility
Wear neoprene socks or shoes I think I saw glass shards at one place.

Frequently asked questions
Is this river safe for swimming?
Check the Conditions tab for current flow rate and recent rainfall. Rivers can become dangerous after heavy rain. Review community reports for hazards like weirs, strong currents, or access issues.
How cold is the water?
Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. River temperatures respond quickly to weather changes. In the UK, expect 5-10°C in winter and 15-20°C in summer at most locations.

A tow float, shoes with grip for slippery banks, and warm layers for after. Water shoes protect against rocks and debris on the riverbed.
