Congratulations to #Stonehaven Open Air Pool for coming third in the 2025 #BucketandSpadeList 🎉🎉🎉

This #artdeco #lido got lots of love from our voters, a really special place.

If you fancy a dip the summer swimming season ends tomorrow...

Second place in the #BucketandSpadeList is Douglas Bay Horse Tramway #IsleofMan

Here is Harry the Trammer accepting his award. Apparently they bribed him to stand still with a carrot and polos!

Back to work now Harry and Congratulations! 🎉🎉
