Float around on your back at Bristol Lido
Bristol Lido is an outdoor swimming pool with a top-notch restaurant tucked away in the quiet districts of Clifton in Bristol.
The pool was initially built in 1850 and subsequently closed in 1990 due to neglect. The structure was accorded Grade II* listed building status in 1998 while being under consideration for demolition. The Bristol Glass Boat Company bought it and renovated the pool, which was reopened in November 2008.
The urban escape is a renovated Victorian pool with hip additions like colorful locker rooms, lush landscaping, and Instagram-worthy architecture. Visit to enjoy the spa, sauna, steam room, hot tub, and pool while floating around lazily. After that, reserve a table in the restaurant with a view of the pool so you can enjoy some delectable tapas by the water.
An extra doorway was erected in 1867 for The Victoria public house, which is located on the site and has a portion of the property's primary doorway decorated in Egyptian style. The pool is constructed of cast iron across two storeys and features galleries on each of its sides. A row of cubicles with canopies and fronts made of wooden panels is located on the third side. The pool itself is heated, making it the oldest continuously used heated pool in the nation.
