Did you win the first thread? Do you win the prize (which I believe was my respect and admiration)? If the other thread gets to 1000 come here to claim your prize.

Any more places to claim? I'll start, in honour of Pontins Prestatyn....

Gronant
Rhyl
Holywell

Dizin, Iran
Worlds of Fun, just outside Kansas City
Whakaari, New Zealand

Hoh rainforest in Washington
Scapa Flow, Orkney

and, rather less exotic - the Last of the Summer Wine museum. And yes, it was exactly as ‘good’ as I’d have expected.

Bimblesalong · 10/04/2023 21:51

Yep I’ve been to those too. Sorry!

Time40 · 10/04/2023 21:51

The Microsoft campus in Seattle
Inside Battersea Power station before it was developed into flats
The tiny uninhabited island of Gunna, in the Inner Hebrides

Bimblesalong · 10/04/2023 21:52

*I meant the places in the OP. Not the exotic ones!

Countrydiary · 10/04/2023 21:52

My attempts:

Carn Euny Ancient Village in Cornwall
Cape Town sewage works (!)

Bimblesalong · 10/04/2023 21:53

Time40 · 10/04/2023 21:55

... I've got another - The Loch Ness Monster exhibition at Drumnadrochit (don't go to this if you have never been - it is truly the worst, most pathetic and useless attraction I have ever visited)

Anapana · 10/04/2023 21:55

Fave weirdly recent places are Mandurah in Western Australia and Posidi in Halkidiki

Id absolutely love to live in Mandurah

StiggyZardust · 10/04/2023 21:56

Stewart island

Anapana · 10/04/2023 21:57

Theimpossiblegirl · 10/04/2023 22:00

Atui, The Cook Islands. More specifically the bush beer school.
Maybe I should add this to the pub thread...
