We’re very lucky to have one of the few open air pools left in the UK – and we love it! Opening around June each year, it’s a great way to cool down on a sunny day. However, it is heated so it’s also great to enjoy on a cooler day too! With changing rooms and warm showers, there’s everything you need on site. Contact the pool ahead of your visit to check it is open (in some weather conditions it may need to close) and what sessions are running that day – it offers adult only, fun play sessions and open swimming for all. For more information about Helmsley Open Air Swimming Pool visit their website for more information.
