Cleveland Pools in Bath is England’s oldest lido dating back over 200 years which reopened once again in 2023. Following a long volunteer-led campaign and a grant by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, this wonderful heritage site is now a unique and modern, open-air public swimming pool.

We are now working closely with the Pools operator to ensure the Trust’s values of community, sustainability and inclusion continue into everyday life at the Pools.
