Bulmore or Bullmoor ({{Langx|cy|Y Pwll Mawr}}) is a hamlet in the south-east of the Caerleon ward of the city of Newport, South Wales. The name is derived from the Welsh Y Pwll Mawr meaning The Large Pool. It was first settled by the Romans.{{cite web|url=https://www.roman-britain.co.uk/places/bulmore/|title=Bulmore|website=Roman Britain|access-date=26 October 2022}}

In 1934 an area of land forming part of Bulmore Farm was purchased and an open-air swimming pool known as Bulmore Lido which was built and opened in July of that year. Situated alongside the River Usk, the 8½ acre complex comprising large adult pool and smaller children's pool with adjoining lawns, became Newport's favourite "out-of-town resort".
