Bowls is a precision lawn game where players roll biased balls with the aim of stopping them as close as possible to a smaller target ball known as the jack. Its played both outdoors on flat greens and indoors at dedicated venues, and is enjoyed socially as well as in organised amateur play.
ActivitySure can cover bowls when youre taking part abroad. While its generally a low-impact activity, travelling to play bowls can still involve unfamiliar surfaces, warm weather and long periods outdoors, making appropriate travel insurance an important consideration.

Its also well established in warm-weather destinations such as Spains Costa Blanca, which attracts travelling players with purpose-built greens and organised social leagues.
