The Amusement Park(s)...

The Amusement Park(s)
Butlin's Clacton orginally had several amusement parks, this one being near to the front gate, but some distance from the chalets.

They included a wide variety of rides, swinging boats, roundabouts and rollercoasters, but above all the trains and miniature railways were perhaps the most popular attractions for all of the family.


This amusement park had a wide variety of rides for small children and grown - ups too.

Lyons Miad Ice Cream
The 'Indoor Pool Building' included an 'Ice Cream Sundae Bar' where a large selection of ice cream was available. If they didn't have what you fancied, you could even ask for a combination of ices to suit your taste. Most of the time, the Tannoy would be asking, "Who wants an ice cream, who wants an ice cream now?!"

Great days.
