Jubilee Pool in Penzance, Cornwall, is Britain's largest and most celebrated Art Deco seawater lido, built in 1935 as a spectacular triangular pool jutting into Mount's Bay with direct views across to St Michael's Mount, and recently enhanced with a geothermally heated section using Cornish geothermal energy from deep granite rocks. The heated pool, operational year-round alongside the seasonal main lido, uses the natural geothermal energy of Cornwall's famous granite batholith — one of Britain's most geothermally active regions — to warm seawater to a comfortable temperature in a dramatically scenic coastal setting. The combination of historic Art Deco architecture, Atlantic seawater, and innovative deep geothermal heating makes Jubilee Pool one of Britain's most extraordinary and forward-looking bathing destinations.
