- Where can you swim near Broughton in Furness?
- 13 sea, lake and river swimming spots lie within 30 km of Broughton in Furness, spread across 2 areas. This page lists them by distance from the town rather than by county, because a boundary is not what decides where you drive.
- What is the nearest beach to Broughton in Furness?
- Coniston Water, Brown Howe in Westmorland and Furness, about 9 km away. It is the closest of the 13 listed here; the next few are within a short drive and each shows its current status, so the nearest is not always the one to pick.
- Is the water clean near Broughton in Furness?
- 13 of these 13 spots are designated bathing waters with published monitoring, from the Environment Agency (England). Monitoring covers bacterial quality only — it says nothing about tides, currents, swell or cold-water shock, and nothing here is a clearance to swim.
- Which spots near Broughton in Furness have the best water quality?
- 5 of them hold Excellent, the top classification under the EU Bathing Water Directive, based on bacterial samples across the previous four bathing seasons. That describes a four-year record rather than the water today — each spot page shows both.
