Holiday Village
In 1993 a leisure resort was planned for the site under the proposed name "Lakewoods Holiday Village". The Rank Group constructed this as "Oasis Lakeland Holiday Village" which featured commercial restaurants and businesses such as Burger King and a Hard Rock Cafe. It was later sold to Center Parcs who removed the commercial ventures and now operate it as "Whinfell Forest Village".
Whinfell Forest is the largest of Center Parcs' four UK holiday villages, with accommodation for 4,668 people in 861 units.
