While en route to Cleethorpes last May we discovered there was a minigolf course at Kingswood Golf Centre in Hatfield near Doncaster. We had to swing by for a look.

The nice 12-hole pirate-themed Adventure Golf course was the 817th visited and 481st played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Saltburn Miniature Railway

A visit to the Saltburn Miniature Railway.

A train called Prince Charles at Cat Nab Station

Last September we had a wonderful day out in Salturn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire and after playing the Saltburn Minigolf course on the promenade we headed along the seafront for a ride on the Saltburn Miniature Railway.

We followed the brown tourist sign to the Saltburn Miniature Railway

Always an encouraging sign

New Angry Birds Adventure Golf courses opening in the UK

New indoor Adventure Golf attractions to open with an Angry Birds theme.

A series of new indoor Adventure Golf courses with an Angry Birds theme are set to open in the UK.

The team at Rovio Entertainment, owners of the Angry Birds brand, are teaming up with Namco Funscape to create the new minigolf courses. Five locations are planned to open over the next three years.

We've bowled at Namco a fair bit over the years and in September 2017 we played Namco's first Adventure Golf course at Namco Funscape in Tamworth.

That course has a medieval-theme linking in with local history. It became the 774th visited and 460th played overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
