A 110 metre salt water pool offering swimming lanes, zorbing, kayaks and stand up paddle boards. Open from May to September (the cafe opens longer) this place is great fun for all the family. Word of note; the pool floor is rocky so reviews mention to wear wetsuit boots or beach shoes.
With woodland, open heathland and old meadows you'll find an abundance of wildlife here including resident deer, tawny owls and nightjars. The area is crisscrossed with footpaths and bridleways so you'll have plenty of choice of where to wander.There's a small car park at Roydon Crossroads or alternatively beside Church Lane (grid ref SU307315)
