A group hopes to create a naturally-filtered swimming pool complex high on moorland near Bradford.

By Tom AireyMembers of a group hoping to create what is thought to be the UK's highest lido have said they face "a last-minute race against time" for funding.

The Yorkshire Swim Works Community Interest Company said it had received backing from Bradford and Calderdale councils, as well as Olympic Gold medallist Alistair Brownlee, Swim England and Keighley MP Robbie Moore. "They want to swim in clean water and in places that offer a fantastic experience with incredible views."

The proposed pool would be open all year round and unheated, with water temperatures likely to range "from five degrees up to the mid-20s", they said.
