Whether you swim lengths, play ball games with your mates, float along or lay on a towel in the sun, outdoor swimming pools epitomise that stress-free summer holiday feeling.

Outdoor swimming pools are something you use abroad, right?

We bet you didn’t know there are loads of outdoor swimming pools right under your nose, here in the UK.

We’ve put together some of the best outdoor pools across the British Isles. So pack a book and towel – and spend this weekend making the most of the sunshine.
