Origin of skittles

Garden Skittles originates from an ancient European target sport, a sort of variety of bowling, from which Ten-pin bowling, Candlepin bowling, and duckpin bowling in the United States, and Five-pin bowling in Canada are descended from. In the UK the wooden garden skittles game remains a very popular pub sport in both England and Wales, though it tends to be found in certain regions and not nationwide. garden skittles is perhaps most common in the counties of Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. Garden skittles is also very popular in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In Australia, other varieties of garden skittles are more popular, but the similar game of Kegel, based on German nine-pin games, is popular in some areas.
