“Such a lovely asset. Lovely warm water, clean and safe facilities. Very friendly staff and lifeguards. Lovely grassy area, swings and picnic benches.”

Ashburton Swimming Pool is a beautiful outdoor heated pool

Ashburton is very fortunate to have a lovely community run open air pool that appeals to children and adults alike. It is 21m long by 9m wide and is heated to 27-30 Degrees Centigrade. We run a variety of different sessions and, where possible, offer discounts to make it as affordable as possible.

You’ll find the pool in the heart of this historic South Devon town, close to the southern side of Dartmoor National Park. It’s easily accessed from the A38 and although we do not have our own parking at the pool there are two Teignbridge District Council operated Pay and Display car parks approximately a 5-to-10-minute walk away in the centre of the town. Why not make a day of it with a visit to the wide range of independent shops and eating establishments?

Stay a bit longer at the pool and take advantage of our lovely field and play area for picnics and games and take a break at our volunteer run cafe for hot and cold drinks, snacks, lollies and ice creams.

The pool is operated by a team of volunteers from the community and is a charity.
