Dating back to 1927 the Lido sadly closed in 1991 and fell into ruin. However this listed building has now been lovingly restored thanks to funding from Welsh Government, Europe, Heritage Lottery and Rhondda Cynon Taf Council. It remains the only listed Lido in Wales and will offer free swimming for the rest of the year.
