The oldest lido in Britain is closing after £9.3 million renovation.

Condition of the oldest lido in Great Britain

According to The Sun: The oldest lido in Great Britain, Cleveland Pools, located in Bath, may remain closed forever, despite the millions spent on repairs over the last few years. This lido, built in 1815, is the oldest in the country.

In 2023, the lido was open for only four months, despite receiving £9.3 million for upgrades. However, it has not been able to reopen for visitors since then.

“It is very sad, but the news may be unpleasant for those hoping for the lido's revival.”

The situation remains uncertain, and many doubt the possibility of Cleveland Pools resuming operations in the future.

To date, the future of Cleveland Pools remains in jeopardy. Communities that sought the restoration of this historic site face uncertainty and economic challenges that cast doubt on its reopening. Preserving such cultural heritage is of great importance to locals and tourists, so we will watch for further developments.
