The World's Oldest Bowling Green

A visit to Southampton Old Bowling Green - the World's Oldest Bowling Green.

As a fan of sporting history it was very interesting to stumble upon the World's Oldest Bowling Green during our minigolfing road-trip to Hampshire.

We've not played a game of bowls before. But we do play Petanque. We've also played minigolf on a number of bowling greens that have been used as Putting courses, including Edinburgh, Glasgow and at the Wales National Crown Green Bowling Centre in Rhyl. We also found an excellent pair of Putting courses in Looe, Cornwall. Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour has also seen us play miniature golf at the bowling club in Aberdovey, Wales.

The road to nowhere

Our travels around the UK have certainly taken us to some interesting places and while driving through the Midlands yesterday afternoon we found the road to nowhere!

This doorway in the Aspall Secret Garden at the Bowling Green pub isn't all it seems!

We stopped off at the Bowling Green while en route to Beacon Park where we were heading to play Crazy Golf. The Bowling Green pub is well worth a visit. It's an interesting spot for a drink as the pub sits on the middle of a roundabout!

The Bowling Green pub has a very nice 3D sign

We've seen a few Crazy Golf courses in pub beer gardens in our time. Not nearly enough though.
