A Welsh local authority has given the green light for a multi-million pound redevelopment of a caravan park.

The £15 million project at the Hafan Y Mor luxury caravan park in Pwllkeli will see 450 chalets demolished and a nine-hole golf course created.

According to BBC News, the plan will take a decade to complete and create 209 new pitches for static caravans and 75 for luxury lodges.

It will also create 12 new permanent jobs, as well as securing 350 existing ones and providing 30 seasonal opportunities.

"[This] underlines the continuing and indeed growing confidence we have in Hafan Y Mor and north Wales in general as a top tourist destination where visitors can enjoy some of the most spectacular scenery in Britain," general manager Andrew Baker told the news provider.

He added that the work will see the park add to the destination's reputation as one of the top five places for tourism in north Wales.

Meanwhile, BBC News recently reported on a newlywed couple who plan to spend four months enjoying their honeymoon by travelling 10,000 miles across Europe in a caravan.

Comments - What do you think?
  • "i like the fact haven are spending this amount of money on what is undoubtedly their best park but a lost of history on the park will be lost and gone forever. I like the fact its only one of two haven parks that can offer alternative accomodation to static caravans, i dont think they should remove all the chalets. i dont know what sir billy butlin would think of this"
