Surrounded by picturesque Peak District countryside, the pretty Derbyshire village of Hathersage is home to a large, heated open-air swimming pool.
With incredible views out across the Stanage Edge and the surrounding hills, swimmers can take in a vista that could rival those found in the rolling hills of Tuscany or the green fields of France, all just an hour and a half outside Manchester.
The 30-metre pool has been a feature of the Derbyshire countryside since 1936 when it was commissioned as a part of the King George Fifth Memorial Field, and the original ornate bandstand still casts a watchful eye over swimmers today.
The pool is open all year round and sits at a rather refreshing 28°C during the milder months, and is available for a bracing cold water dip during the winter.
Managed by Hathersage Parish Council facilities include hot poolside showers, an on-site cafe serving hot meals, snacks, cakes, pastries and drinks, a play area and well-manicured lawns.
