Ruislip Lido, a 60-acre reservoir in the London Borough of Hillingdon, offers a beach, play area, woodland walk and miniature railway about 50 minutes from North Hertfordshire.
Ruislip Lido, a 60-acre reservoir in the London Borough of Hillingdon, is situated about a 50-minute drive from North Hertfordshire. The site was originally created as a reservoir for the Grand Junction Canal in 1811, though an artificial beach was later added for recreational purposes.
The lido had a troubled history, entering a state of disrepair during the 1970s and 1980s. However, after undergoing renewal works, it reopened in January 2010, allowing boating and swimming to resume. The site is now popular with locals throughout the year.
Visitors can enjoy a beach, play area, woodland walk and miniature railway. The lido also features a boathouse with a community room, fishing opportunities during select months, a woodland centre and a designated bird-feeding area. A separate Dog Beach allows dogs to use the space freely. Different sections of the attraction operate on varying schedules, with opening times available on the Ruislip Lido website.
