Description

Askham Outdoor Swimming Pools are a charming and family-friendly destination located in the picturesque village of Askham, Cumbria. Set in a peaceful rural setting, the facility features two heated open-air pools: a larger main pool for adults and older children, and a smaller paddling pool designed specifically for toddlers and younger swimmers. Surrounded by a generous grassy area, the site is perfect for relaxing in the sun, enjoying a picnic, or letting children play safely outdoors. The pools are a cherished community asset, managed and staffed by local volunteers throughout the open season, which typically runs from late spring to the end of summer. Askham Outdoor Swimming Pools offer an affordable and enjoyable experience for families, individuals, and visitors looking for a quiet day out in nature.

Session ticket prices are set at £5.00 for adults and children aged five and over, while children aged four and under swim free of charge. Swimming sessions can be booked online in advance, especially recommended during busy periods.
