Rubbish tourist attractions: the ‘Narrowest Street In The World’ in Reutlingen, Germany

[Cloo]

My biggest disappointment was that we never got to see the Museum of Prunes that we kept driving past and my dad kept threatening to take us to when we were in the Loire valley.

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

This one is even better

Brydges Place, Covent Garden, London, the narrowest alleyway in London.

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

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

Ahem. Only one is a street.

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.

Would you believe I've just spotted the class II relic in Zagreb cathedral?

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!

Oh - and Drumnadrochit/Loch Ness a rip-off dismal shithole where it even costs you 50p to use the bogs.

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

That museum might not be in Cumbernauld, you know.

[chilango]

It's in Keswick and is a bit rubbish tbh

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:

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

The Giant's Causeway. Didn't see a single giant. Rubbish.

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)

Who's that? Looks like Lionel Richie
