hi adam
i'm thinking of visiting the academy pools shortly,as i'v never been there before ,i was just wondering,if you can just walk in or do you need some sort of pass,because i understand there is security on the gates.
Hi Ian, as far as i'm aware you can just walk right up to it,I always have, i was a little unsure at first but all the dog walkers etc just seem to just walk round where ever and there seems to be no problem and nobody has ever said anything to me or any of the other birders i've seen doing the same.
I usually enter from the south end from the track that runs along the back of the school but you can also walk down to it from Moor lane end.
There are 2 public foot paths that run quite close to the pools one up each side but you'll easily see the paths that take you right up to the pools and you'll probably see a few people walking around as well.
