I expected Cumbernauld Pencil Museum to be a disappointment but it wasn't

How is it better at being a narrow street if it's wider than the Exeter one?

Cool people die horrible, preventable deaths.
Parliament Street is superior in every way - height, next to a Greggs, just everything

The shittest tourist attraction in the world has to be the wall with a gift shop attached that always has a big queue at kings cross.

Ahem:
Parliament Street is a 50-metre (160 ft) long street in the city of Exeter, Devon, England. It links the High Street to Waterbeer Street and dates from the 14th century. At about 0.64 metres (2 ft 1 in) at its narrowest and approximately 1.22 metres (4 ft 0 in) at its widest, it has been claimed to be the world's narrowest street
Brydges Place is an alley between St Martin's Lane and Bedfordbury in the City of Westminster, Greater London, running alongside the Coliseum. It is especially narrow, being just 1 foot 3 inches (0.38 m) wide at one point, and so is commonly claimed to be the narrowest street in London

That Harry Potter attraction at Kings Cross - I love it how they have a worker who flaps your scarf about when you have your photo taken.

There is a narrower one than that in Johnshaven Aberdeenshire - I couldn’t even fit my shoulders down it, so had to go sideways!
Think it’s been blocked at one end in the last year or so due to a dispute between the new owners on one side and the council over continued access!
That museum might not be in Cumbernauld, you know.

Yes - I remember being particularly fucked off by the Loch Ness Visitor's Centre over 30 years ago when I visited... moneygrabbers on the make. It still hurts.

The Marks Stones haven't really made it as a tourist attraction.

The Havering Stone definitely deserves some kind of yearly 3 day festival during the solstice though:

Proper break this time
The St Ives Museum is a thing of wonder too:
Exhibit, St. Ives Museum, Porthmeor Beach, St Ives, Cornwall, April 2004
'Ol' Mr Chegwin died yesterday'
'What, him who owned the mechanics?'
'That's the one'
'Well have a word with his son when it seems right, we could stick his tools in the museum'

A pencil museum would make Cumbernauld about 15 times more attractive as a tourist destination tho

I still can't make my mind up on this one. Is it brilliant or a bit on the tacky side? (It's a Luke Kelly statue in Dublin's Sheriff St)
