Victoria Falls Adventure Golf

An 18-hole adventure golf course just outside Bath, Victoria Falls trades actual waterfalls for themed holes and artificial obstacles - think jungle theming, water features, and the usual windmills. It's the sort of place that works brilliantly if you've got kids aged six to twelve who still find a moving barrier genuinely challenging. Adults will either enjoy the ridiculousness of it all or spend the round internally calculating how much better they'd be at real golf.

The course is spread across what feels like a proper outdoor space rather than being crammed into a warehouse, which counts for something on a decent day. Weather matters here - a downpour makes it tedious, but bright sun actually makes the whole thing rather fun. You'll need about an hour to get round without rushing, maybe ninety minutes if people are genuinely competitive about their scores.

For a family staying at Bath Mill Lodge Retreat nearby, this works as a rainy-day filler or a gentle activity between proper attractions. It's not worth planning a holiday around, but if you're already in the Bath area with restless children, you could do worse. Campwell Farm and Stowford Manor are close enough that you could slot this in during a week-long park stay without any hassle. Check opening hours before you go - these things don't always keep winter hours - and ring ahead if the weather's been grotty.
