Penzance, UK

This bustling coastal town is Penzance in Cornwall, on England’s south-west coast, which attracts visitors with its sandy beaches, rocky cliffs and hidden coves. Jutting out from the seafront in our homepage photo is the UK’s largest seawater lido, the Jubilee Pool, which has been welcoming bathers since 1935. This triangular Art Deco pool offers a chilly swim for the brave, but for those who like it warmer, a separate saltwater pool is heated to a balmy 35 degrees Celsius by pumping heat from a geothermal well 410 metres below ground level.
