Newbold Comyn Swimming Pool

Chlorine hits your nostrils the moment you walk into this proper municipal pool on the edge of Leamington Spa. Newbold Comyn Swimming Pool sits within the sprawling parkland that shares its name, making it a handy splash-and-dash option for families staying at nearby parks like Knight's Village at Warwick Castle or Harbury Fields Farm Caravan Park.

The pool itself is nothing fancy - think standard local leisure centre rather than anything flashy. But that's exactly what makes it work for a holiday break. Kids can burn off energy while parents get a breather, and it's the sort of place where nobody minds if your little ones are a bit loud.

Families will get the most out of this spot, particularly those with children who've had enough of countryside walks around Warwick. It's also handy if you're based at one of the caravan sites like Warwick Racecourse and fancy a change from outdoor activities.

The location works well for a park holiday - you're close enough to Leamington Spa for a proper town visit, plus Warwick Castle is practically on your doorstep. Don't expect it to fill a whole day, but it's a decent backup plan when the weather turns or the kids need burning out before bedtime.
