Once thriving holiday park now overgrown and left to rot

Pontins was once the pinnacle of summer holidays for generations around Britain.

With on-site apartments, comedians, live music, playgrounds and even swimming pools, you couldn’t ask for much more from a budget getaway.

Now only one of Pontins holiday parks is still open to the public, and it regularly ranks worst value of all the holiday parks in the UK, with one guest describing its offering as dull and dingy.
