Adventure Golf at Beacon Park in Lichfield, Staffordshire
A look at the new adventure golf course at Beacon Park in Lichfield, Staffordshire.
We swung by the adventure golf course at Beacon Park in Lichfield during an afternoon in the city on the way back home from a trip to visit family and friends in East Anglia.
| The new course replaced the crazy golf course in the park and covers the same location |
| This particular Eternit miniature golf obstacle has been retained in the new course layout, with some modifications as can be seen below |
The new adventure golf course at Beacon Park opened in May this year.
The adventure golf course at Beacon Park is a 9-hole outdoor woodland-inspired adventure golf layout.
It became the 1,129th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since 2006.
Beacon Park in Lichfield is also home to a Pitch & Putt course.

Check out the Lichfield Historic Parks website for more information.

The former Woolworths in Selby
Spotting a Woolworth ghost sign in Selby, North Yorkshire.
We noticed the remains of a Woolworth sign on the former store on Gowthorpe in Selby while having a wander through the town.
![]() |
| The H of the original WOOLWORTH sign above one of the doors |
Before its closure in 2009 the shop had been a Woolworths Local store.
![]() |
| Woolworth became Woolworths in 1984 |
It's now a Yorkshire Trading Company shop.
