Bunkers

Bunkers is a miniature golf course tucked into Swansea's leisure landscape, and it's the sort of place that works brilliantly if you're staying at one of the nearby caravan parks and want a quick activity that doesn't demand half your day. It's proper fun - eighteen holes of the usual suspects: windmills, ramps, tricky angled greens. Nothing revolutionary, but that's rather the point with mini golf. You go, you play, you either sink it or you don't.

Families with kids aged six to about fifteen get the most from it. Young children might struggle with the concentration required, while anyone older tends to find it a bit tame. The competitive types in your group will actually enjoy themselves - there's enough skill involved to make you feel a bit silly when you miss a three-footer. Budget an hour, maybe ninety minutes if you're slow or everyone's determined to win.

Swansea Marina Tourer Park is less than half a mile away, making Bunkers genuinely walkable if you can't face the car for such a short trip. It's the sort of rainy-day filler that actually saves caravanning holidays - you know, when the weather's rubbish and the kids are climbing the walls. Not a reason to visit Swansea on its own, but handy to know it's there. Call ahead for opening times and whether it costs a few quid or not, because details are thin on the ground.
