Fun pools in UK & Ireland

Water parks & Leisure pools

This page is about pools for fun - leisure pools with water slides, flumes, waves, bubble pool, toddlers creek etc. Perhaps the pools might not have all of these attractions, but they should at least have a few of them. The attractions should also appeal not only to the kids but adults as well.   The list is probably far from complete, and there might be pools in the list that should not be there. You can help us in several ways!

Just a few pools have an official homepage of their own, so most of the links leads to other sources.
