Stanhope Open Air Swimming Pool in County Durham is a rare community-run outdoor pool, first opened in 1974. Set among the scenic North Pennine hills, it is one of the few remaining open-air heated pools in the UK. Maintained by volunteers and supported by local partners, it offers a unique swimming experience in a friendly setting.
