Situated near the open-air theatre is the ladies' bathing pond. Open daily from daylight until dusk, a visit to the pond is free and makes for an enjoyable, alternative afternoon, especially if you bring a picnic along to make the most of the time on the Heath. The bathing pond contains only natural water and is unheated - perfect for the Spartan, the purist or the adventurous. Girls over age 8 can swim all they like, but the boys are banned to the Highgate Bathing Pond a short distance away.
