Lido and Afternoon Tea

A dip with decadence

There’s nothing like a dip in the open air – and the New Bath Hotel’s geothermal, spring‑fed lido is one of Derbyshire’s most magical places to do it. Fed by natural mineral water and framed by the dramatic Matlock Bath scenery, it’s the perfect spot for those who like their wild swimming with a little extra luxury.

Once you’ve dried off, you’ll head to the elegant Fountain Restaurant for a traditional afternoon tea. Tuck into three tiers filled with delicate sandwiches, freshly baked scones and indulgent pastries, all paired with your choice of tea or coffee. After a day of open‑air swimming it’s the perfect way to warm up, slow down and savour a little Derbyshire decadence.
