A look at the Crazy Golf course at Haven's Seashore Caravan Park in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

My brother Christopher and his family have just returned from a short break at the Haven Seashore Holiday Park in Caister-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. He sent me some snaps of the Crazy Golf course there.

Always nice to see a windmill on a crazy golf course

A loop-di-loop, followed by a ramp obstacle!

It looks like a colourful course

Another Crazy World of Minigolf Tour milestone visit.

The Crazy Golf course at Haven's Seashore Caravan Park in Great Yarmouth became the 1,133rd course visited overall on our combined Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The visit to the course was also the landmark 50th course on Christopher's branch of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, as we have made several visits and revisits to the same course. It's brilliant that he and his family have also travelled to a number of different places here in the UK, and overseas.

Hello from Christopher and Elena on their branch of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

You can find the Haven Seashore Holiday Park in Caister-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth.

An old car from the log flume at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach can be found next to the course!

Christopher said he and his family very much enjoyed the park and what it had to offer, and thought it was superb value for money for their long weekend stay.

My family went on some brilliant holidays back in the 80s and 90s and we stayed at Haven, Butlins and Pontins camps, as well as some independent holiday parks. One of the holiday camps we stayed at was Butlins Ayr, which is now Haven's Craig Tara Holiday Park.

A holiday at Barry Island Resort in 1995

A look at the Barry Island Resort 1995 Information & Entertainment Guide.

The Barry Island Resort 1995 Information & Entertainment Guide

As a big fan of the British seaside and traditional holiday entertainment I was pleased to find a Barry Island Resort 1995 Information & Entertainment Guide a while back.

I can't believe it's 30 years old!

Seeing the Barry Island Resort 1995 Information & Entertainment Guide brought back so many happy memories.

My family used to go on holiday to Barry Island in the late 1980's and 1990's and loved it there. The holiday camp was absolutely marvellous, with everything from swimming to crazy golf, to snooker and darts, to the fun fair and more - all free of charge once you had checked in.

My brothers and I would spend hours going from one activity to another and then spend the evening in the arcades playing games such as Paperboy, Street Fighter (the original), Blasteroids, Xybots, Double Dragon, Wardner and more. Halcyon days.

Check out the six-page Barry Island Resort 1995 Information & Entertainment Guide below. As a former holidaymaker at the camp, fan of the British seaside, postcard collector and marketer it makes for interesting reading - especially some of the adverts!

What a cover

There was always so much to do at the Barry Island holiday camp - and that was before heading out of the camp to the rest of the seaside town, fun fair, amusements beach and more

The entertainment continues

Back when you could still advertise cigarettes!

A great bit of marketing and use of a postcard image

I spent many an hour at building 5 - Princes Ballroom - as that's where the Crazy Golf, snooker and one of the arcades was 

Barry Island Resort was originally a Butlin's holiday camp when it opened in 1966. It was re-opened as a Majestic holiday camp in the 1980's. Sadly it closed for good in 1996 and was demolished to make way for housing.

I've returned to Barry Island - in 2009, 2010 and 2019. Apart from the disappearance of the holiday camp there were some new attractions, and the resort was still recognisable from the 1990's.

Pontins Prestatyn Sands

A look at the Pontins Prestatyn Sands Holiday Camp Site (May 2024).

Pontins Prestatyn Sands

I stopped off at the Pontins Prestatyn Sands holiday park back in May while en route to the Crazy Golf course in the seaside town.

The approach to the camp

Sadly Pontins Prestatyn Sands closed to guests in November 2023.

The 'P' signs on the gates are the originals from when the camp opened

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

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!

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

It's always nice to hear of holiday parks adding minigolf - there's nothing quite like a game of minigolf while on holiday.
