This mini-golf course in Queen’s Park, Mablethorpe was the only thing open, besides the cafe, when I visited in October. The children’s paddling pool was drained and the colourful fountains removed, the miniature railway wasn’t running, the locomotive and carriages presumably parked in the storage tunnel for the winter, the paddle-boats on the boating lake had been removed from the water, and the small kid’s play area locked up behind a threatening-looking barbed wire topped fence.

But this couple were enjoying their game of crazy golf nevertheless.
