The best hidden outdoor swimming pools in the UK to cool down in during the heatwave

THE best way to cool down during this heatwave is heading straight to an outdoor swimming pool.

However, if you want to avoid the crowds, there are thankfully some quieter spots you can head to.

There are lots of well-known lidos across the UK, but these can be fairly busy when the sun comes out.

Or, you can opt for wild swimming, and we've rounded up some of those best spots too.

Website ShowersToYou.co.uk has rounded up the quietest outdoor pools by seeing which ones are tagged the least on Instagram, suggesting fewer daily guests.

Here are the lidos to add to your list before the warm temperature disappears, where you won't have to fight for a sun-lounger.
