The Cleveland Pools Trust Ltd have received a funding award from HLF to develop the exciting project of reopening the existing outdoor Georgian bathing Pool in Bath, which was originally built in 1815. The site is listed grade II* and is part of the Bath World Heritage Site. The site was last used for swimming in the mid 1980’s and is thought to be the oldest purpose designed Lido in the UK, possibly Europe. The project has evolved from the efforts of a committed local group who have fought to bring the site back into use as a naturally water treated open air swimming facility to serve the local community, adding a new dimension to Baths tourist offer away from the core of the City.
