• Day 2 afternoon

    The sun was still shining so in the late afternoon we went to Shoalstone Pool.
    This pool is a 53 metre sea water swimming Pool situated in a stunning position on Brixham sea front: one of only a few left in the country. It is built into a natural rock pool that in Victorian times was popular for bathing, and in 1896 two walls were built to retain the tidal water that flooded in.
    Thirty years later, in 1926, the Pool took on its current design and had a lot of rock removed to make it deeper and add a shallow end and deep end, with a gently sloping bottom

    The water was super cold ❄️🥶 and had lots of 🐚 shelly 🐠 fish floating around but Sue and Hannah had a dip in the pool. As some had to take photos I sadly could not go inside 😉. After the pool we enjoyed some very delicious local Fish and chips in our beautiful apartment with 🪟 view.
