Northgate Video & DVD in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk
There's a video and DVD rental shop in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
While visiting family in Bury St Edmunds in 2024 we spotted the sign for Northgate Video & DVD - a video rental shop!
We returned last year and were back in town again last week and are happy to report that the shop is still there.

Urban exploration - Cornhill Walk Shopping Centre in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk
A look at Cornhill Walk Shopping Centre in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
Cornhill Walk Shopping Centre in Bury St Edmunds closed in 2017.
I remember shopping there on my first visit to the town in 2008.

Playing at Sneaky Links Crazy Golf in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk
We recently played the Sneaky Links Crazy Golf course in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
We met up with our friends Lucy and Paul in Bury St Edmunds last Saturday evening and played a round at Sneaky Links Crazy Golf on Brentgovel Street in the town.

| The squad |
Emily and I have both previously swung by Sneaky Links Crazy Golf but either haven't had time, or weren't there when it was open, so this was the first chance we'd had for a game.

| Yes, this is crazy golf! |
Sneaky Links Crazy Golf was the 1,055th course visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and the landmark 1,000th we've been to in the British Isles! It was the 582nd course we've played.

| Lucy playing hole 1 - it was a fun hole for some! |
It's a unique indoor 9-hole crazy golf course and the layout is very tricky and frustrating in places!

| Playing the 9th hole - where the championship title and bragging rights were still up for grabs |
Our fun - and very competitive - minigolf match had some ups and downs for each player and it was Paul 'The Challenger' English who emerged as the victor with a round of 24 shots over the 9-holes.

Emily and I tied for the runner-up spot having both scored 26 - I was happy with that after a disastrous 7 scored on hole 1!

Lucy 'The Blocker' Newton started her game the complete opposite of me, with an excellent hole-in-one on the first and ended with a round of 35.

Abbey Gardens Crazy Golf in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk
Playing the Crazy Golf course at the Abbey Gardens in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
Last year Emily spotted a Crazy Golf course at the Abbey Gardens in Bury St Edmunds and we swung by again in August.
On our recent return trip to the town we had a game on the 9-hole crazy golf course.
The Abbey Gardens Crazy Golf in Bury St Edmunds is open from April to October. Interestingly the layout changes as the course is set-up and taken down each day!
In our minigolf match Emily scored the win with a round of 23 to my 24.
The Abbey Gardens Crazy Golf course in Bury St Edmunds was the 583rd played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 1,054th visited overall since September 2006.
