The Portishead Open Air Pool is a community-managed lido overlooking the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel on Battery Point in Portishead, England. Opened in 1962 as a heated seawater facility serving the rapidly growing town, it is today operated by the charitable Portishead Pool Community Trust, who leases the site from North Somerset Council and runs it on a not-for-profit basis, with reliance on seasonal staff and volunteers. The pool currently attracts between 40,000 and 50,000 visits in a typical season and is recognised by the local planning authority as a non-designated heritage asset because of its social and historical significance.
