Public pools in Winchester

“Lydia's coaching skills are truly exceptional, making her an outstanding coach. My son eagerly anticipates his weekly sessions and has developed a strong passion for swimming under her guidance. Thanks to Lydia's expertise, his swimming abilities have shown remarkable improvement.”

“A great local facility and Leisure Center that we have found so helpful to my husbands pre operation fitness and wellbeing . I’ve just joined the gym to support him too and have many other facilities available to me with the membership. Looking forward to feeling fitter and stronger ready for what we face in the future .”

“What a lovely place. Not recommended for elderly, pregnant, less-abled though. The walk up does have some steps, but there's a lot of slippery chalk to contend with going up or down the hill. Only been once so maybe there's others ways/paths but we went up 1 way and down another and both slippery in Autumn. Great views at the top. Nice little woods for kids to play hide and seek in. Will definitely visit again.”

“This is my absolute favorite spot for wild swimming — peaceful, refreshing, and surrounded by nature. There’s also private fishing available and scenic trails just a short walk from the station, making it easily accessible. Parking is available near the station too, which adds to the convenience. A hidden gem for outdoor enthusiasts!”

“This is a great place to walk, the views from near the horse monument are great, you can see the cranes away at Southampton and on a good day the type 42? On the top of Portsdown Hill. There are a lot of car parks so if one is busy drive down the road to the next one. The car parks are free, well done, to I think Winchester council, so many councils want to take so much in fees for parking instead of realising these open spaces are needed for relaxation by us all. The car parks are a bit tight for larger motorhomes but OK for camper vans, the roads are country lanes so a big vehicle will need to be careful. Great place to visit with great views all around.”

“Lovely area to find in an enclosed and safe environment.”

“A great pool to swim in. A good length and width for some strokes. Exceptionally clean water with slight amounts of dirt in the corners (it is very normal to see this). The changing rooms and bathrooms were very clean with intuitive lockers and a swimwear drying machine. There were lots of reclining chairs to lounge in (a good distance away from the splash zone). There were lots spa was very clean. An amazing place to go!”
