A NATURAL infinity pool in the UK is causing a stir online thanks to its amazing views. <\/p>\n
While infinity pools are commonly associated with luxury<\/span> holiday destinations like Bali and the Maldives, there are also some in the UK that are free to visit. <\/p>\n The Lake District is home to some stunning places, including plenty of wild swimming<\/span> spots. <\/p>\n While they're all equipped with amazing views, there's one natural infinity pool that has remained a hidden gem in the tourist hotspot. <\/p>\n Earlier this year, the TikTok account UK Hidden Gems posted a video all about the Thirlmere Infinity Pool. <\/p>\n In the video, he said: "You need to visit this infinity pool in the UK. Sitting in the midst of a tiered waterfall is Thirlmere Infinity Pool. <\/p>\n "A real hidden gem in the beautiful Lake District. <\/p>\n "It's located just a 10-minute drive south of the town of Keswick off the main A591 in the lake district. <\/p>\n "You'll have the whole place to yourself." <\/p>\n In the 20-second clip, users saw a woman swimming in an infinity pool overlooking breathtaking views of the Lake District. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The video has had 33,000 views, with users jumping into the comments to share their opinions. <\/p>\n One person wrote: "We went and we were the only ones there – it was beautiful." <\/p>\n Another person added: "It\u2019s really hard to find but amazing."<\/p>\n But some weren't impressed with the post, one person added: "It's nice<\/span> to see these videos, but broadcasting them will stop them being so hidden." <\/p>\n Brits who want to visit the natural infinity pool will need to park at Legburthwaite car park. <\/p>\n From the car park, holidaymakers will need to follow the sign for Sticks Pass, before heading diagonally up a footpath until the route levels off at the corner of the wall.<\/p>\n Visitors will then need to follow the path for about 700m, before arriving at a gate and a bridge where the infinity pool should be.<\/p>\n Once in the infinity pool, visitors will be able to take in the views overlooking the Lake District. <\/p>\n There are also other infinity pools in the UK too, including a secret spot in Snowdonia in Wales. <\/p>\n The pool is actually a weir that was constructed by Farmer Wyn Mostyn Jones as part of a green energy project.<\/p>\n He has since passed away, but before then, said he didn't mind people visiting the pool, as long as they stayed safe when doing so.<\/p>\n But the location of the pool isn't completely clear, with some of its visitors hoping to keep it a secret from others.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, these are\u00a014 places to swim outside\u00a0in the UK this summer<\/span>.<\/p>\n Other\u00a0lidos and outdoor pools can be found across the country, some of which\u00a0will be quieter than others.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
