Natural Swimming Pool Photo Gallery - Oxfordshire, 2007

"The bonus for us has been the lift it has given the garden: the creation of a natural wildlife habitat, the pond life, the beauty and changing colours of the plants. All very relaxing and not something we had anticipated. I cannot imagine a conventional pool ever having given us all that." More from the owner...

This natural swimming pool near Henley has a total surface area of approx 140 sqm.  It has specifically been designed to fit in with the natural landscape of the valley beyond.  

Note also the shallow children's area separated by a fence.  The children here spend a lot of time looking for the wildlife in the pond and the photo below shows two of them sharing a pond dipping kit.
