South Lakeland Parks are a cluster of nine holiday parks based in the English Lake District and Morecambe Bay area. These parks are: White Cross Bay, Limefitt, Fallbarrow, Todber, Ocean Edge, Regent, Gatebeck, Marina, and Hawthorne. South Lakeland Parks specialise in developing and operating holiday parks with caravans and timber lodge accommodation. The parks include holiday home hire and holiday home sales, plus their Fallbarrow site has 2 holiday cottages on site. == History == South Lakeland Parks was established in 1988 and was previously known as South Lakeland Caravans until June 2006. The parks promote three different styles of holiday - lakeside (Parks based in the Lake District), countryside (Parks based in the Troutbeck Valley) and seaside (Parks based in the Morecambe Bay areas). In June 2006, LGV () acquired South Lakeland Caravans Limited, which was rebranded as South Lakeland Parks ("SLP"). SLP predominantly operates the owner-occupier model, generating most of its revenue from the sale of caravans and lodges and is one of the country's leading providers of timber-lodge units, a market which has demonstrated high growth over recent years. LGV had a strong management team led by CEO, Graham Hodgson and LGV supplemented the team with the appointments of a Finance Director and Martin Leppard as Non-Executive Chairman. Since LGV took over the group, SLP have embarked on a £3 million investment programme to upgrade the quality of the parks. Improvements across the nine parks include new timber lodge developments, new internet café facilities, an indoor swimming pool and better facilities for disabled guests. In November 2007, LGV successfully sold South Lakeland to White Ocean Leisure for £125 million, generating a return of more than twice its money in 17 months.〔(), BBC article on White Ocean Leisure takeover.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South Lakeland Parks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
