BUDE Sea Pool has been selected as one of the best ten spots for outdoor swimming in England.

Country & Town House, with the help of Visit England, recently voted Bude Sea Pool as one of the top ten spots for outdoor swimming in the UK.

Their research took them around the country, looking for the best outdoor swimming and alfresco pools, Britain’s most challenging wild swimming spots, open water activities and the loveliest English lidos in the country.

There is something romantic about a dip in a tide pool, as opposed to a trip to the local leisure centre, and sitting beneath the cliffs at Summerleaze beach obviously ticked the box for Country and Town House’s top ten selection.
