It's brilliant to see interesting and unique minigolf layouts, and this small course certainly ticks those boxes.

Toys R Us at Cathedral Retail Park in Norwich

A look at the Toys R Us store at Cathedral Retail Park in Norwich, Norfolk in April 2022.


Toys R Us at Cathedral Retail Park in Norwich (April 2022)

Toys R Us closed in the UK in April 2018.

It's been very interesting to find that there are still remnants of the brand on some retail parks in the UK and we've visited a number of these closed, abandoned, derelict and demolished Toys R Us locations on our travels.

It's always interesting to see some of the more 'hidden' courses around the UK as generally holiday park courses are only accessible to guests staying at the resort. Although this isn't always the case, so it's worth checking if the holiday camp has a day visitor pass, or if the minigolf course is available to play for non-residents too.

Golf Fang Crazy Golf planned for Bristol

A new Golf Fang indoor Crazy Golf course could be opening in Bristol.
