The Priory Lido
Ware, HertfordshireAbout The Priory Lido
Enjoy the summer sun with all the benefits of being poolside at The Priory Lido.
This 30m-heated open-air pool is open from May until September and a great spot to spend warm days with the family. With a separate pool ideal for smaller children, there’s enough space for everyone to make a splash.
Originally built in 1934, the pool has benefitted from a significant upgrade and has changing rooms, reception area, toilets and an event room. There’s plenty of grassed space around the pool for reclining in the sunshine, picnicking or playing a game.
Keep cool in the pool!
