Buckfastleigh Open Air Pool
Whether you want a quiet relaxing early-morning swim, or a fun splash around with the family, Buckfastleigh Open Air Swimming Pool is a heated pool where everyone can enjoy the benefits of open air swimming.
We’re in an historic town on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, in an area of natural beauty. What better place to have fun and keep fit at the same time? Find out more about the facilities at our pool.
The pool is now closed until Sat 26 May. Check here for more information on our ticket prices. We offer a "12 for the price of 10" ticket offer and also our TQ11 Pass for young people living in Buckfastleigh.
We run a term-time and holiday timetable. From early-morning lane swimming, to family sessions, we have something for everyone. Come and join us on Saturdays for our fun family session - wet and wild!
Come on in, the water's warm!
History
