Pontins Prestatyn Sands Holiday Camp in North Wales

A look at the Pontins Prestatyn Sands Holiday Camp in North Wales over the years.

Outside the main building at Pontin's Prestatyn Sands Holiday Park in 2014

Pontins Prestatyn Sands Holiday Camp closed its doors in November 2023 after 52 years. I last swung by for a look in May 2024.

The gates and Inspector's office at Pontin's Prestatyn Sands have not changed since the film was made!

We'd visited three times in recent years as part of the Holiday on the Buses fan club events held there.

The plaque with details of the Holiday on the Buses film used to be on the pillar to the right of the front gates

The Holiday on the Buses Weekender 2014 at Pontin's Prestatyn Sands allowed fans of the series and films the opportunity to stay at the camp, meet fellow fans and go on a number of mystery tours of filming locations!

This video shows the Queen Vic pub, the main building and a view up towards the gate.

Direct Rail Services Nuclear flask train passing through Abergele and Pensarn in Wales (September 2017)

A Direct Rail Services Nuclear flask train passes through Abergele and Pensarn railway station on Friday 22nd September 2017.

Each nuclear flask shipping container weighs more than 50 tonnes (110,000lb), and usually transports no more than 2.5 tonnes (5,500lb) of spent nuclear fuel.

This train - Hauled by two Class 68 diesel-electric locomotives - had three of the containers, so was carrying up to 7.5 tonnes of nuclear materials!!!

Towards the end of the video you can see the Sea World Crazy Golf course at the Surfside Amusements. A course we were playing when the nuclear train rolled past.

Happy Back to the Future Day 2026

Today is Back to the Future Day.

The 21st October is 'Back to the Future Day' as Marty McFly and Doc Brown travelled from 1985 to the 21st October 2015. So, the future was actually eleven years ago now!

I got to see a DeLorean time machine at MediaCity in Salford back on the 13th March 2020. How different times were then!

We found a (now lost) video rental shop in Little Lever, Bolton in October 2020. It was stocked with loads of VHS tapes - including Back to the Future Part II. It was like stepping back in time!
