The Lido, Bristol
Clifton is not only home to Bristol Zoo and the world-famous Clifton Suspension Bridge, it has The Lido too. If you haven’t been before, you’ve been missing out. For just £20, you can make the most of the pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room between 1pm and 4pm Monday to Friday.
The pool is heated accordingly throughout the year, so you can always enjoy swimming in this open air pool regardless of whether the sun is shining or not. To truly make the most of The Lido, go for a post swim bite to eat at the restaurant or relax with a spa package. A visit to the oldest surviving lido in the UK is a must.

Thermae Bath Spa, Bath
While this isn’t essentially a lido, it’s an outdoor pool we just had to include in our pick of the best. The beauty of this open air pool is that it’s surrounded by spectacular views of the city, so as you swim in the mineral-rich water you can take in the beautiful buildings nearby.
For a 2-hour spa session, which includes access to the roof-top open air pool, the Minerva bath and the wellness suite, it’ll cost you just £35. Unless you’re visiting on a Saturday or Sunday, in which case it’s £3 extra. Be sure to visit the Thermae Bath Spa when you’re next in the city, it’s worth every penny.
