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.
