Rhyl is
a town in
the county of Denbighshire. It used to be a Victorian resort
and
is still a popular destination today. Much of the
holiday
accommodation tends to be found in the caravan parks along the coast
road.
The
population of Rhyl has changed dramatically over the years. During the
early nineteenth century it was a small village with a population of
around 300. During the Victorian era it became quite fashionable as a
tourist resort and today it has a population of around 25,000 people.
Rhyl
used to have a famous pavilion, an ornate building with five domes
which unfortunately was demolished in the 1970's. Today there is the
Sky Tower and a Childrens Village Theme Park. Rhyl has its own iundoor
leisure swimming pool, an indoor monorail and an indoor surfing pool.
Efforts
are being made to boost tourism with a number of projects which have
included the £85 million Ocean Plaza complex and plans to re-develop
the promendade area and re-open the town's miniature railway. The
promenade and Drift Park are impressive and add a new dimension to the
town.
The
beaches here are excellent and stretch for seven miles making this an
ideal location for any family holiday. All the traditional thrills and
spills of a British seaside resort can be found here and there is
something for everyone.
