5 stunning UK outdoor pools that look like they're abroad – perfect for heatwave weather | The Sun
TEMPERATURES are set to hit 30C this week as the heatwave spreads across the UK.
The best way to cool off is by swimming in one of the many UK lidos in the UK – here are the top 5 that look like they could be abroad.
1. Jubilee Pool, Penzance
Jubilee Pool in Penzance could be something from Australia, with the pool overlooking the ocean.
The Art Deco lido is a saltwater tidal pool which first opened in 1935.
While the main pools are not heated, there is a geothermal pool which is heated to 30-35 degrees.
Guests can buy one-hour tickets and take advantage of the on-site cafe.
