English tidal lido right on the beach that you can only visit twice a day
ONE of the prettiest pools in the UK is near a popular seaside town - but you will have to time it well to jump in. Found in the historic fishing village in West Cornwall, Mousehole Rock Pool in Cornwall is open for 24 hours a day, but when you can swim in it depends on whether the tide is in or out. 4 The man-made tidal pool is on the edge of Mousehole in Cornwall Credit: Alamy 4 The pool is open 24 hours a day but is only suitable for swimming at certain times Credit: Alamy Mousehole Rock Pool is a tidal swim spot that you can only visit twice a day - because it's best to go in high tide. During high tide, the pool is exposed to the sea for a few hours on either side, making it accessible for swimming. The pool can drain with the falling tide and will become shallower. The tide varies throughout the year, but in summer, Mousehole usually has two high tides a day - in mid-morning and the evening. Read More on UK Lidos The best time to visit the tidal pool is just after high tide and you can check these with the 7-day tide forecast before going. Mousehole Rock Pool was built in 1969 for the local children to teach them how to swim, and has remained popular ever since. Anyone who ventures there will discover the stunning views across There's also the Rock Pool Cafe Mousehole which has reopened after winter break.

It took place on July 10, 2022 with a second repair day was also held later that year to repair the rock pool and again in 2023. More work is needed to maintain the pool as the plans going forward are to restore the access area for pushchairs and wheelchairs. The village of Mousehole, just less than three miles south of However during the winter, Mousehole is considered one of the most magical place to visit because of its Its annual Christmas lights adorn the harbour, usually from mid December.

Top UK theme park scraps much-loved free entry policy for new £25 tickets and visitors are furious
BLACKPOOL Pleasure Beach has scrapped free-entry and has added a £25 fee for non-riders. The seaside theme park had been free to enter for years, so the addition of new ticket prices hasn't been well received by visitors. 5 Blackpool Pleasure Beach had been free to enter for years Credit: Getty 5 But it has added a general admission fee - even for those not going on rides Credit: Alamy Blackpool Pleasure Beach had been known for its free entry, with people previously just having to pay for the rides they went on. Charges per ride would be between £2 and around £10 per ride. Now, An adult ticket on the day is now £50, or £30 online if paid in advance. Read More on Blackpool But it's the fixed fee for anyone not planning to go on rides that has received the most backlash. The new non-rider ticket of £25 has been designed to offer guests greater 'flexibility when planning their day out.' Included in the price is £5 worth of 'Pleasure Beach Pounds' to put towards food, discounted show tickets and attractions like the Chinese Puzzle Maze. But it still hasn't sat well with visitors, one wrote on Facebook: "Wow £25 to walk around only, I'll stick to the pier thanks." Most read in News Travel Another added: "Overpriced, £10 per non rider would have got far more people through the gates." Some even went as far as to call it a "con" and called the whole thing "daylight robbery". Seaside theme park gets reimagined ride 5 Some visitors are unhappy with the added fees Credit: Getty This isn't the first time the seaside theme park has introduced non-rider fees. In 2010, Blackpool Pleasure Beach introduced £5 and £10 non-rider passes, but these were axed in 2019, allowing guests to enter Blackpool Pleasure Beach for free again, until now. While regular theme park goers have been left unhappy by the fees, others have said the same. The likes of Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, These range from £27.50-£68 - all of which are more expensive than Blackpool Pleasure Beach's non-rider fee. The only theme park in the UK that still has a different fee for non-riders is The amusement park located in the New Forest National Park has a £45 fee for adults going on rides, but is free for children and non-riders. Our Expert Opinion On The Ticket Changes Head of Sun Travel Lisa Minot gives her verdict on the new Blackpool Pleasure Beach fees... Times have never been more challenging for our classic seaside resorts. The cost of living crisis continues to impact spending power and the lure of cheap trips abroad can turn the head of even the most ardent fan. So it's no surprise that Blackpool Pleasure Resort has had to introduce a new entrance fee. Just two months ago, the attraction announced pre-tax losses of more than £2.7million and announced the closure of some of its smaller rides as well as a small number of job losses. Like many businesses, it has been hit with a double whammy of national insurance and minimum wage increases following last year's Budget. If we want Blackpool Pleasure Resort - and the city in general - to survive and thrive, then measures like the new entry ticket are essential. The resort is investing in new thrill rides and this new fee will help bosses invest in more. It's also worth noting you get a fair amount of extras in your ticket - from £5 to spend on food to character meet-and-greets, discounted show tickets and access to all the non-ride attractions plus, across the summer, a free matinee performance of the Hot Ice Show. If theme park fans are happy to pay even greater sums to enter the likes of Alton Towers and Thorpe Park, surely the chance to enjoy all the fun of Blackpool Pleasure Resort is worth the money? 5 Blackpool Pleasure Beach has a total of 24 rides Credit: Getty Blackpool Pleasure Beach is home to 10 rollercoasters, five 'dark' (indoor) rides, five water rides and 12 The attraction also has a number of shows and events throughout the year, including late night riding and It first opened in 1896 , and is still popular today. It was recently named as the number one destination to take kids to during the summer holidays, based on its reviews. The seaside park is still being upgrade too and in 2025, introduced a new ride called the Launch Pad, which reaches speeds of 80mph and sends riders 210ft into the air on a towering steel structure.
