This map reveals the most polluted beaches in England - and it includes a North East spot.
The interactive map lets you type in your postcode to find beaches near you where pollution levels have reached the point where swimming could become dangerous. Not only does it tell you if getting in the water in those spots is advised against, it lets you know if it has lost its Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs designated swimming zone status.
There are a number of beaches highlighted which people should look to avoid as the water quality is so poor, including popular spots such as Blackpool North and Weston-super-Mare, as well as the River Wharfe in Ilkley, reports The Mirror.
