Swim outdoors throughout the summer in this popular pool in Hathersage, just a 20 minute bus or taxi ride from Sheffield city center. Local hills are visible from the pool and deckchairs and grassy areas are available for the use of sunbathers. The pool itself is large enough for serious swimming and the water is heated to a pleasant temperature. Simple but well-kept log-cabin changing rooms, showers and lavatories are available and spectators who want to avoid the sun can make use of a covered grandstand. A pool cafeteria offers a good range of snacks and drinks and although the main eating area is not accessible from the pool side, refreshments can be purchased through a small hatch. On quiet days, this is a great place to relax but at weekends and during school holidays it tends to be busy with families and is much noisier. Arrive at the beginning of a session to avoid having to queue for admission.
