Plans for a new adventure golf course have been approved for a park in Staffordshire.

The existing mini golf course at Beacon Park, Lichfield, is due to be removed this summer, the council said, and replaced with a new nine-hole adventure golf facility.

The authority said the new course would feature large, eye-catching structures, inspired by well-known local landmarks.

Bosses said these would include Lichfield Cathedral, Garrick Theatre, Burntwood climbing wall and Beacon Park itself.

A spokesperson for the council said the facility would improve the city's tourist provision and its strategy to encourage people to get more active.

It is part of a wider Boosting Beacon project, comprising £600,000 of funding secured from local developments.

New outdoor padel courts were announced for the park in October, along with a new mini nature reserve, wheelchair-friendly bouncer and covered area.
