Respectively, a final disposal by Rank was Erigmore House (now privately owned) in 2000, leaving only 55 holiday parks to operate throughout that season. Haven Holidays is a leading provider of seaside holidays in the UK operating 37 holiday parks with easy access to some of Britains best beaches and coastline. The site of Lyme Bay was demolished to make way for a Tesco's Supermarket in 2009 after Tesco acquired the site from Hollybush in 2008, the site of Duporth (which has been passed onto several private owners over it's years) has now been replaced by Cornish style houses after it's closure at the end of the 2006 season, and the site of Harcourt Sands still remains derelict since it closed down at the end of the 2006 season after 8 seasons of being owned by Reowned Holidays. Whilst Mill Rythe (now an Away Resorts site), St Ives (now a John Fowler Holidays site), Devon Valley (now privately owned), Mullion (now a Parkdean Resorts site) and Shearbarn (now privately owned) are still running as holiday parks, the other four holiday camps have since closed down, however they were sold to other holiday companies for several years before this happened. You also have Berwick which is just a few miles over the English border - Berwick Holiday Park. There were also some 90's disposals before Bourne Leisure took over Rank's holiday division, those being Lyme Bay, Harcourt Sands, Devon Valley, Duporth, Mill Rythe, St Ives, Mullion, Fort Warden and possibly Shearbarn. Haven Holidays have three (including Berwick) excellent holiday parks in Scotland with one on the east coast of Scotland called Seton Sands Holiday Village and the other on the west coast of Scotland called Craig Tara Holiday Park.Cherry Tree, Warmwell, and Torquay were the last three Haven Parks to be disposed of, as at the end of the 2004 season, Bourne Leisure felt that they no longer fitted in with the Haven and British Holidays merge, due to them being relatively small parks.Trelawne Manor - sold to John Fowler Holidays.South Bay - sold to John Fowler Holidays.Chesil Beach - sold to Waterside Leisure Group. ![]() Solent Breezes - sold to Park Holidays UK.Winchelsea Sands - sold to Park Holidays UK.Sheerness - originally sold to Park Holidays UK, but has since been sold to Cosgrove Leisure.St Osyth Beach - sold to Park Holidays UK.Suffolk Sands (an Owners Exclusive Park) - sold to Park Holidays UK.Felixstowe Beach - sold to Park Holidays UK.Kessingland Beach - sold to Park Resorts. ![]()
