Miniature Railway at Worden Park in Leyland

With our interest in Miniature Railways piqued after finding some lines in our new local area it got us thinking about where we've seen or ridden them on our travels in the last ten years. Minigolf and Miniature Railways do seem to go hand in hand at times.

In September 2009 we went on a road-trip to Blackpool and on the way home stopped off at Worden Park in Leyland, Lancashire to visit the Crazy Golf course there. Unfortunately it was closed. The park was also home to a Miniature Railway.

The lucky last hole at Worden Park's Mini Golf course. It's a similar layout to the Crazy Golf course at Hesketh Park in Southport

Leyland isn't too far from where we live in Cheshire so perhaps we'll revisit the park for some Miniature Train/Golf fun next Spring.
