The Amusement Park (s)...

The Gallopers' Roundabout

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 also included The Minic Train for small children.

The Peter Pan Railway was near the front gate and road. Each train had a bell on the front that you could ring loudly as you rode round the twisting track.
