Bookings to Parkdean Holidays Sea Acres, Mullion and Looe Bay Holiday Parks in Cornwall have soared since the eagerly anticipated remake of BBC period drama Poldark started on BBC1 on Sunday night two weeks ago.

Based on the novels written by former Cornish resident Winston Graham, the BBC's Poldark follows a handsome soldier who returns from the American War of Independence to his native land of Cornwall, where his family runs a local mine.

The stunning coastal scenes of the drama's hero Ross Poldark riding along the cliffs in Cornwall have captured the nation's imagination, with more than seven million viewers tuning in to watch the pilot episode on Sunday 8th March 2015.

Parkdean Holidays' booking numbers at their Sea Acres, Mullion and Looe Bay Holiday Parks, have increased by 15% in the last week.

John Waterworth, chief executive at Parkdean Holidays, said: “It's great to see Cornwall on our screens, it's a beautiful county with stunning beaches and scenery and we have parks to suit everyone. There is enough choice for anyone wanting to visit – whether you're looking for surf, the perfect Cornish ice-cream, swimming pools in the sun or great fishing, there's a Parkdean park in Cornwall that's got it.

“Parkdean Holidays has eight Holiday Parks in Cornwall, all within a short drive to many of the filming locations used in the TV series, such as the picturesque fishing village of Looe and the Lizard Peninsula, making it an ideal destination for all ages.”

The latest figures from visitcornwall.com report a 65% increase in traffic since the first episode of Poldark aired.

Parkdean Holidays saw a rise in booking numbers elsewhere in the UK earlier this year after Dorset starred in ITV's Broadchurch series.
