Go up Station Street (past the Lansdown pub), across the lights at the top and into Fisher Street.  At the far end of Fisher Street, turn left down White Hill/Offham Road. At the Elephant and Castle Pub, turn right, and head down St John's Terrace. Keep going and you'll see the pool just by the Pells Pond at the bottom of St John's Hill. It's about a 10-15 minute walk.
