Miniature and Crazy Golf

Two courses wind their way through this proper mad-cap setup near Filey, where the 'crazy' part lives up to its name with windmills, loop-the-loops and obstacles that'll have you scratching your head. The miniature course keeps things simpler but still throws in enough tricky angles to keep adults engaged while the kids line up their putts.

Families will get the most joy here - it's one of those places where three-year-olds can actually compete with teenagers, and parents might find themselves getting surprisingly competitive over a plastic ball and a putter. The courses are well-maintained, though some of the more elaborate obstacles show their age.

Expect to spend about an hour working through both courses, longer if you've got determined youngsters who insist on getting their ball through every hoop. It's the sort of activity that works brilliantly on those in-between holiday days when the beach feels too much effort but you need to tire out restless children.

For families staying at Haven's Blue Dolphin or Primrose Valley parks, it makes for a decent afternoon out when the entertainment teams need a break. The location puts you well within striking distance of Filey's proper attractions too, so you can easily combine it with fish and chips on the seafront.
