Overrated places in the UK

[Fixitup2]

What are your over rated places in the U.K. that everyone else seems to love?

Mine is the Peak District which imo has mediocre scenery spoilt by too many roads and too many people. I hate it and only ever agree to go if there’s nowhere else and we need to stop somewhere that way.

Stone Henge is just a NT scam.
I'm surprised they don't have a Volunteer enacting 3 card monte in the queue.

Just skip it, especially if you've already seen Egypt or Mexico's ancient offerings.

Stratford-upon-Avon

Wondering why? We go every year, well we did pre-Covid, and quite like it. May just have low expectations though!

Center parcs for sure - it's just a posh Butlin's.
But how can you not like Edinburgh?

Brighton, Bristol, Edinburgh and most of London

@Chickychickydodah

London. Too expensive, overrated and dirty...

Wimbledon isn't dirty. Maybe you need to visit nicer places

We don’t drive (typical Londoners) so when we’ve had to holiday in the U.K. I’m always shocked about how much driving you have to do to get to all the good bits 😂. We’ve always gone abroad normally so it’s a bit of a change for us. We tried the Cotswolds last year and I thought it’d be fine, we are keen walkers so we thought we’d just walk. You have to drive to get to the walks 😂 ditto a lot of the Peak District.

Blackpool. It’s dirty.

London
Harrogate
Center Parcs
The Trafford Centre

Edinburgh is the original corner of a foreign field that's Forever England.

Unless you live there, Suzi.

The Trafford Centre makes me feel claustrophobic. Take the top off and our more stairs/exits in and it would be ok.
Oh, and some decent shops too.

*put

Any of those god awful chav resorts like Pontins and Butliins.

Edinburgh for sure

Surrey- full of boring wankers obsessed with schools, the Jones', property prices and washing their cars.

I absolutely love most of the places people hate on here though. Brighton, Bath, London, Bristol.. love love love

Never going to happen @midsomermurderess

I don’t think it’s really even possible to say ‘London’ because you should be specific. What bits? They’re all different 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m saying Brighton. Wanky and grimy.

Tbf, if the OP is allowed to say the whole of the Peak District, then "London" as a legit contribution should be allowed!

Same PPs that have mentioned Cambridge.

I hate it. Fine for a day if you're a tourist but a fucking nightmare to live here.

Brighton. Shithole.

Those of you Stonehenge-haters should visit Avebury instead.

The stones are smaller but they integrated into the village and you can walk around properly, it's much more atmospheric. And there isn't a busy road thundering past.

Seems I have different tastes to many!
We were quite impressed by Weymouth last summer - just used it as a base but we enjoyed the evenings there, though didn't spend any time there during the day. We also loved Bristol!
Also think parts of the Peak District and the Cotswolds are stunning if you walk rather than drive through wondering what everyone is raving about.

I've been to some of these places and had a good time, including a "Chav resort"!
I'll be back in Edinburgh this summer.

The Lake District - really want to love it but it's been solid rain every time we've gone!

The Lake District, busy and wet.
Scenery not as good as Scotland.
