Places to see in ( Prestatyn - UK )
Prestatyn is a seaside resort, town and community in Denbighshire, Wales. Historically a part of Flintshire, Prestatyn is located on the Irish Sea coast, to the east of Rhuddlan. Prestatyn railway station is on the North Wales Coast Line which connects the town with Holyhead to the west and Chester to the east. Bus services are provided by Arriva Buses Wales.
The town's population remained at less than 1,000 until the arrival of the railways and the holidaymakers in the 19th and 20th centuries. Sunny Prestatyn became famous for its beach, clean seas and promenade entertainers, and visiting for a bathe was considered very healthy by city-dwelling Victorians. During the Second World War the holiday camps were used as billets for British soldiers, many of whom were also sent to live with locals.
Prestatyn was the home of the first UK Kwik Save supermarket in 1965; Prestatyn was also the home of the firm's business headquarters. The Kwik Save store was renamed Somerfield following a takeover in 2007, and was finally demolished in 2008 when surrounding land was bought by Tesco.
Although Prestatyn remains a tourist destination and resort town, the town is diversifying in response to the decline of the British seaside holiday. The NHS is planning to open an elderly care facility in the town to serve north Denbighshire, and the opening of big name shops and supermarkets looks set to increase the town's status as a shopping centre. Merlin Cinemas have taken over the Scala cinema, a digital cinema with films, exhibition and theatre venues.

ER05 ART, PRESTATYN SCALA. That's all folks!
A last-ditch plea for help was made by supporters of a cinema who have had to shut it from today.
The final curtain is being drawn at the Scala cinema in Prestatyn by the Scala Trust who have made “a final attempt” to save it.
The Scala closed in 2000 but re-opened in February 2009 after a £3.5m facelift as Wales’ first all digital cinema and arts centre iand was a project to help regenerate Prestatyn.
It succeeded in bringing in between 80,000 and 100,000 people through its doors and on to Prestatyn High Street each year.
Trust chair Rhiannon Hughes the Scala was in “desperate need” of cash to restructure and appealed to local businesses or individuals to get involved to re-open it.
Mrs Hughes said: “The Scala Trust is committed to re opening the Scala if at all possible but cannot do this on its own. Urgent assistance is required. I would like to thank the small team of staff who have worked so hard not only with the public but all the behind the scenes and the many unpaid hours worked to make the venue a success. I would also like to thank the many volunteers who have supported the staff in making this wonderful venue such a welcoming and friendly place to visit.”
It received funding from Denbighshire County Council with a remit to deliver an educational and community programme as well as being a cinema.
This was recognised when the Scala won the prestigious Royal Institute Chartered Surveyors (RICS) International award for its community work bringing this award to Wales for the first time.
The Trust was told in October last year that it would be losing its funding from Denbighshire council this year.
As well as working at a local community level the Scala has delivered national programmes and worked internationally with young film makers and film providers world-wide.
General manager Chris Bond said: “We would like to apologise to all our customers and community groups who will be inconvenienced by this closure. While we are doing everything we can to secure the Scala’s long term future, this now looks very uncertain. We are all very proud of what has been achieved to date and sincerely hope this will be allowed to continue.”
