Cambridge’s huge open air pool on Jesus Green re-opens for the summer season on 14 May. It’s one of the longest lidos in Europe at 91 metres, but a very long, narrow shape – designed to mimic swimming in the nearby river. Anyway, come the sunny days, this little corner of Cambridge feels like a secluded summertime paradise. Pack a book and your shades and pitch up by the side for a sunbathe, hopping in for an occasional dip to cool off (of course, it’s more than suitable for doing actual exercise in too, we hear).
