点评:I decided a trip to Plymouth wouldn't be complete without a trip to the lido.
June 15th 2025 The weather was clear blue skies and a fair day.
The Lido was fairly easy to find following the signposts to 'The Hoe'. Was about a 10/15 min casual walk from the city centre area.
The view as you come over the hill past the war memorial is absolutely incredible. Such a stunning setting.
The Lido was easy to see.
I was very apprehensive, but was welcomed by a lovely guy on reception who was incredibly helpful and answered all my frantic questions.
The Lido is NOT heated artificially. It is warmed by the sun..so perhaps an afternoon may be a bit warmer.
There is a lift to the lower levels.
Changing rooms are communal with cubicals (there are some larger family cubicals)
The pool itself is large. A shallow end and a deeper end that are portioned off with a floating rope.
There are adequate toilet and shower facilities. Showers are lovely and warm.. don't forget shower stuff to wash off the salty water.
Lockers are a non-refundable 20p. So make sure you have everything packed away/out (as you need)
Would recommend poolside shoes as it is a little rough on the feet.
Water is salt water. So goggles might be a suggestion.(I didn't put my face under but did have tender skin after my swim)
Thoroughly enjoyable (if a little bracing) but once you are acclimatised it goes well.
Little cafe/window to purchase beverages/snacks.
Deckchairs/loungers for hire.(separate charges)
Wonderful historic setting.
翻译:我决定,如果不去露天泳池,普利茅斯之旅就不算完整。
2025年6月15日,天气晴朗,蓝天白云。
沿着“The Hoe”的路标很容易找到露天泳池。从市中心步行大约10到15分钟即可到达。
翻过山丘,经过战争纪念碑,眼前的景色美得令人难以置信。景色如此壮丽。
露天泳池很容易看到。
我当时非常忐忑,但接待处一位友善的小伙子热情地接待了我,他非常乐于助人,回答了我所有急切的问题。
露天泳池没有人工供暖,而是靠太阳加热……所以下午可能会更暖和一些。
有电梯通往较低楼层。
更衣室是公用的,配有独立隔间(还有一些更大的家庭隔间)。
泳池本身很大。浅水区和深水区用浮绳隔开。
卫生间和淋浴设施齐全。淋浴水温适宜,水温适宜……别忘了带沐浴用品,洗掉身上的咸水。
储物柜20便士不予退还。所以请确保所有物品都已打包好/带走(根据需要)。
建议穿池畔鞋,因为池水对脚有些刺激。
水是咸水。所以建议戴泳镜。(我没有把脸浸入水中,但游完后皮肤确实很敏感。)
非常享受(虽然有点刺激),但一旦适应了环境,一切都会好起来。
小咖啡馆/窗口可以购买饮料/小吃。
躺椅/躺椅出租(需单独付费)。
美妙的历史氛围。
