The courses at Grange Promenade Park are the sister courses to those at White Platts Recreation Ground in Ambleside, Cumbria. We visited those during a road-trip in April 2012. The Crazy Golf course in Ambleside was the 463rd we visited.

Miniature Railway in Thorne Memorial Park

A visit to the miniature railway in Thorne Memorial Park.


Miniature Railway in Thorne Memorial Park

While en route to Cleethorpes last May we drove through the town of Thorne near Doncaster, South Yorkshire and out of the corner of our eyes we spotted what looked like a miniature railway as we passed over a bridge near the canal. We had to stop off for a look at it.
