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.

The Ryder Legends Mini Golf course at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield

Looking back at playing the Ryder Legends Mini Golf course at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield.

We visited The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield back in September 2017. We were there to play the Ryder Legends Mini Golf course as part of the inaugural American Golf National Adventure Golf Championship.

Playing hole 3 (inspired by the 17th at Kiawah Island)

Each of the 12-holes on the Ryder Legends Mini Golf course is based on a famous hole from 'big' golf. It's a tricky layout with some very long holes.

Along with Peter Jones I'd qualified for the grand final of the American Golf National Adventure Golf Championship after winning the Welsh Regional Qualifier in April 2017.

The Ryder Legends Mini Golf course was the 456th course played and 768th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. You can see photos of the holes below and videos of the 12-holes on our YouTube Channel (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12).
