Less than an hour away from Bristol you can enjoy a relaxing evening in Clevedon without the daytime hustle and bustle of crowds, slot machines and screaming kids nagging you to buy them something every two minutes. In the evening, Clevedon feels more simple and calm.
Unlike lidos, which during a heatwave can get so busy there is no space to breathe let alone swim, the lake is vast enough to give enough space for everyone. All are welcome at the Marine Lake which has no entry fee and is open 24 hours a day.
The lake is looked after by volunteers the MARLENS, who dedicate their own time towards picking litter and testing the water quality for safety. The enclosed wild swimming area first opened in 1929 but was abandoned during the 1980s when the steps were removed and due to the lack of maintenance it was no longer safe.
