Unique Indoor Golf

The name's a bit of a giveaway - this is indoor golf, and it's tucked away near Atherstone in Leicestershire. You get a proper golf experience without needing an eighteen-hole course or waiting for decent weather, which in the East Midlands means you're playing roughly 340 days a year.

What you're looking at is a driving range-style setup with golf bays where you can work on your swing, practice your short game, or just have a laugh with mates on a simulator. The appeal is obvious for serious golfers wanting to refine technique, but equally it's the sort of place families with teenagers end up on a rainy afternoon and genuinely enjoy themselves. Kids can have a go without the formality of a club, and there's no dress code nonsense to navigate.

You'll want to allow an hour minimum - less if you're just hitting balls, longer if you're doing the full simulator rounds. It's not free and you'll need to book ahead, so check their website for current rates and availability before you head over from Atherstone town centre.

If you're based at one of the local caravan parks - Atherstone Stables is closest at just over a mile - this is a solid rainy-day option that beats sitting in the van. It pairs reasonably well with walking routes around Bosworth Lakeside if you're staying further out at Bosworth Lodges. Golfers will get the most from it, naturally, but it's worth considering if you've got mixed-ability visitors.
