Just visited Newport, couldn’t wait to leave, what’s your get me outta here place?

[TheChristmasElf]

Just have just visited Newport for an appointment, we weren’t there long, toilet stop and cuppa in Asda, half hour appointment in city centre and then got lost on the way out but felt very uneasy the whole time were there. It had quite a menacing feel to it and even on the bare aesthetics of the city seemed quite run down with a lots of old closed pubs, shops etc…

I would actually go as far to say it made me feel quite unwell but I guess that would just be coincidence!!

We actually live rural Devon so not even like I’m not used to the odd lay line of two but I was quite relieved to get back on the road…

Has anyone else felt that about a place before?

My number one worst place of all time is Utah. It gave me the creeps big time.

Also:
Slough
Manchester
Luton

I’ve been watching this thread to see what people think of Newcastle upon Tyne?

MissCherryCakeyBun all of the South East ? Every single town and village ? Have you visited them all ?

I get this exact feeling from all Morrisons stores

Coventry - never again

Once the artisan coffee lot move in to show the local ruffians there's more to life than Greggs we should be grateful.

The Meridian Shopping centre in Peacehaven....feels like a set in a horror film.

Why? What area?

Sheffield. Been there twice and hated it. Miserable place.

No need to visit them all. They are all the same.

Holloway Road in London

Has anyone suggested Bridgewater in Somerset yet??

Oh ffs who wants to go trekking to the supermarket on a day out that is as you say supposed to be a foodie destination?!

are you from there or why are you so het up? Take the others who found it the gastro version of Royston Vasey to task as well as me

😂

Tipton. What a hole, though excellent chippy and a lovely veggie cafe

Luton

I know exactly what you mean

Waitrose for me.

😂

@Sparrow80 you knows it.

In my experience, and just my view -
Plymouth. Absolute dump.
Newport - same.
Coventry - pretty awful. People were friendly. They were in Newport, too, to be fair.
I didn’t find much to love about Basingstoke or Salisbury either.

Thought of another two

Boston and Skegness

Agree, agree. I came on here to say Bridgwater. Probably the only place in the UK I have felt unsafe.

Anisina wow. Have you taken a look the very many lovely places there are in this corner of the country ? Honestly I don't get this SE thing.

Are we not allowed to say the South East? Sorry, not sorry.

My all time place of horror and bad memories - Crowthorne in Berkshire.

I love London but I don't think people are envious if they dont
