Fairy Dell is a seafront paddling pool in Skegness, Lincolnshire, England. The local district council's decision in 2004 to close it over health and safety fears prompted a wave of outrage from people both locally and elsewhere in the country and world, and after a long campaign by the press and town councillors and a public forum, the district council agreed to refurbish and reopen the facility by summer 2006.

“I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
