👷♂️💦 Two dads from Ton Pentre have turned a simple idea into the talk of the town! Lee and Paul, inspired by their kids’ mini dam project by the local stream, took the fun up a notch this bank holiday. Armed with just tarpaulins, a couple of beers, and a lot of enthusiasm, they built what is now affectionately dubbed the ‘Ton Pentre Lido’!


Their nifty creation, featuring waist-deep cool water, quickly became a hit not just with their own kids, but with children from neighbouring areas like Treorchy. These dads have gifted a whole bunch of kids the perfect escape from screen time and summer heat.

🏊♀️🌞 “Seeing over thirty kids splashing around and having the time of their lives was worth every minute,” said Paul. The buzz online is wild—everyone wants to check it out. And honestly, who wouldn’t want a dip in this lush woodland retreat?
🥳 A massive shout-out to Lee and Paul for bringing a slice of outdoor paradise to the community. A social media user summed it up perfectly: “It’s so nice to see kids being kids. Well done, dads!”
If you’re in the area, swing by Havard Woods and see what all the fuss is about. Here’s hoping the ‘Ton Pentre Lido’ stays the go-to spot all summer long. 🌳🏖️
