Mini Golf in Civray, France

A look at the Mini Golf course in Civray, France.

Many thanks to Thomas at Boîte de Timbres for sending me over these snaps of the municipal 12-hole miniature golf course near his stamp shop in Civray, France.

Thomas has suggested that we do a mini-tour of the free municipal miniature golf courses in France. It does sound like fun.

My brother Christopher spotted a minigolf course in Lac de la Cavayère on his travels last year. That course is only open in July and August!

Before moving to France Thomas had a stamp and postcard shop in Letchworth Garden City where I found many brilliant minigolf postcards for my collection.

Check out the Boîte de Timbres website to browse the Aladdin's cave for stamp collectors.

Mini GOAT course near Ayron, France

A look at a Mini Golf course near Ayron in France.

Many thanks to Thomas at Boîte de Timbres for sending me over this snap of an out of season miniature golf course near Ayron, France.

Crazy Goats!

During the off-season goats are kept on the course to keep the growth down over the winter. The course is the site of a holiday camp on the shores of a lake that opens for the summer.

Before moving to France Thomas had a stamp and postcard shop in Letchworth Garden City where I found many marvellous minigolf postcards for my collection.

Plonk Golf at Camden Market

A visit to the new Plonk Golf course at Camden Market in London.

Plonk Golf at the Stables Market in Camden

On our recent trip to London we swung by the new Plonk Golf indoor Crazy Golf course at the Stables Market in Camden.

The first Plonk Golf course played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the pop-up at Efes Snooker Club in Dalston back in April 2015. Since then the team at Plonk Golf have opened a number of other pop-ups, as well as some permanent courses.

Plonk Golf Camden was the 861st course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

Currently you can play Plonk Golf in Shoreditch, Peckham Levels, Camden Market, Islington, Hackney, London Fields and Battersea. There are also new layouts opening soon in Hoxton and Forest Hill.

Plonk Golf in Shoreditch

A visit to the new Plonk Golf course in Shoreditch, London.

While down in London I swung by the new Plonk Golf indoor Crazy Golf course in Shoreditch.

The 9-hole Plonk Golf Shoreditch course is nicely laid out

The venue is nicely hidden in plain sight on Bethnal Green Road.

I walked past the graffiti covered entrance once while looking for the venue!

The volcano hole is something of a trademark on Plonk Golf courses

Plonk Golf Shoreditch was the 860th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

Crazy Golf at the Clarence Way Estate in Camden

A revisit to the Crazy Golf course on the Clarence Way Estate in Camden, London.

On our recent trip down to London we visited Camden and on our wander to the market and lock we noticed we were near the Clarence Way Estate so had to swing by for a look at the Crazy Golf course there.

We first visited the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in October 2009 and Emily worked in nearby Kentish Town until 2016. However, we only ever played the course once - in 2012 - and only saw one other group playing the course - in 2011.

The course looked to be in good condition and has had a lick of paint since our last visit too.
