Last Saturday we were driving from the Trafford Centre to Altrincham and decided to take a 'scenic' route. It's always interesting exploring new places and over the years we've found a number of hidden and previously unknown miniature golf courses this way.

You can get rides around the park and there was a train running while we were there. But it was very very rainy so we didn't have a go on it.
