About Eversholt Swimming Pool

Eversholt Swimming Pool is a small outdoor swimming pool in the heart of Bedford.

The swimming pool was created around 1920, when the Duke is alleged to have given the land in a desperate attempt to stop kids swimming in the Linden fishponds! It was famed as an informal watering hole which swimmers shared with frogs.

Since then the pool has gone through a few changes, the most recent being a new filtration and heating system. Next up we'll be refurbishing the changing rooms, if you have any suggestions on what you'd like to see, please do get in touch using the contact box below.
