There is no doubt Merseyside is blessed with a stunning coastline with lovely cool waters perfect for a paddle.
But there is something special about an outdoor swimming pool. It feels a little luxurious and there are no fears of drifting out to sea.
With so few left in the UK, and with people of Merseyside nostalgically looking back on when we had many lidos, it may surprise some to learn there is one just a short drive from Liverpool. Nantwich Outdoor Brine Pool is believed to be the only inland brine pool in Britain today, and it is one hour and 10 minutes away by car.
