Eden Big Swim

A group of swimmers took on the full eighty mile length of the River Eden in summer 2023 to raise awareness of the environmental issues impacting our waterways and inspire community action to reduce pollution. The project was supported by Eden Rivers Trust, an environmental charity dedicated to improving and protecting the River Eden to make it a better place for people and wildlife, and a partner in the Fellfoot Forward Landscape Partnership Scheme. The Fellfoot Forward community fund supported the creation of a film, which will be used to engage schools and the wider community in citizen activities taking place after the swim. Read a blog from the swimmers about their progress along the river here and watch highlights of the swim in the video below.
