What visitors say
As kids, we would hang out at our lido all day in summer, picnicking, lazing by the pool and splashing around. Times have changed, here it's 90 mins sessions, that you can book a week in advance, don't be too late, sessions sell out quickly, especially in summer. It's clean, well organised, and the system means it doesn't get overcrowded. Super friendly staff and enough lifeguards to feel well looked after with the kids. We are going a lot during summer 💦🏊🏻♀️ Super clean pool, friendly staff and life guards a

Great open air pool. Worth booking in advance, especially when weather is good. Clean changing facilities, bring your own padlock for lockers (plenty available). Nice showers too. Some seating around the outside if you fancy a break. Max depth around 1.6 metres.
