In 1934, members of the British Olympic swimming team had the honour of being the first to take a dip in England’s only outdoor lido fed by thermal spring water, in Matlock Bath, Derbyshire. It was hoped the new attraction at the famed New Bath Hotel would re-invigorate tourism in the area.
However, like many historic lidos, it appeared the pool's glory days were long past. Despite surviving the massive decline in outdoor pool usage and closures of the 1960s and 1970s, the closure of the New Bath Hotel in 2013 almost sealed the fate of the lido.
Yet, on Friday 21 June, exactly 85 years since the pool first opened and in much better weather, a different story unfolded. Two of the country’s most decorated Olympic, Commonwealth and Paralympic athletes repeated history and plunged into the pool, celebrating its relaunch following a £3m refurbishment of the hotel.
Much of the swimming area has been restored back to its original 1930s splendour. The warm springs of Matlock Bath – which have been renowned for their ‘miracle’ healing capabilities since the 17th century – circulate constantly throughout the lido and the 40-yard pool is surrounded by lawns and shrubs, a tennis court and scenically backed by the Derwent’s breath-taking limestone cliffs on one side and woods of Masson on the other.
