What popular places are overrated?

[coulditbeme2323]

Following on from another thread, what places do you consider overrated that are popular?

Hotel Chocolat = over priced, at best average tasting, would much rather Cadbury's at a fraction of the price.

Amorino = our local one gets packed, as in queue's outside the shop packed. Over priced, very average ice cream, that they seem to be able to charge a premium for because you can mix flavors and it's a cue little flower shape.

Dominoes, Pappa Johns, Pizza Hut = unless there is a deal on very expensive for what tastes very processed pizza.

100% agree with Avebury, me and DMum went a few years ago, I was fresh out of separating from my now ExH and it was just so soothing and had an almost magical quality to it. Plus you can get right up to the stones and there's so many more of them than Stonehenge.
Wonderful place.

Me too, it’s racist and insular and weird

I used to work there for a few summers when I was an actress. I was the plague nurse in the Castle Dungeons 😂
I'd always pick on the manliest, toughest looking bloke to be 'executed' and they'd been shitting themselves by the end, was a great job with a great team.

I know! And I am glad somewhere exists that makes so many people so happy, it’s just not for me.

Absolute nonsense.

The whole of Scotland?

Orkney, Shetland, The Hebrides, The Highlands, Aberdeenshire, Edinburgh, Loch Ness, Loch Lomond, Loch Maree, Gairloch, The Trossachs, Our beautiful castles, stone circles, ancient monuments, Skara Brae, Kirkwall, and so many many more,

All dirty and full of campervans?

I don’t think so.

Yes, I’m Scottish and very proud to live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

Tim Hortons (Canada).
The coffee is watery swill.

Coming on to say Scotland. Utterly depressing from the houses- slabs of dark stone or pebbledash to the weather. And everything is miles from everything else requiring effort that isn’t worth it.

Yep, loads of boarded up shops or loads of Turkish barbers...way to be scottish hey.

Yep true

And the fact it's not really scottish anymore

Totally agree.

It cost a fortune and the day we went was wet and very windy. I was stood out on the open plane staring at these very underwhelming rocks with frozen extremities and wishing I was anywhere else. Never again.

Scotland isn't Scottish anymore, isn't it?

Please explain.

Tend to agree with Bourton on the Water. I had happy memories of it from years ago when I went to the Cotswolds often to see my grandad. I took a friend and my husband a few years ago and was amazed how crowded it was. My husband said 'what 's there to do here?' Not much if you don't want to see captive tropical birds.

I would add Mont St Michel to the list. Again much too crowded (yes we were adding to that). Better viewed from afar I think.

The Isle of Wight is underwhelming, especially that tatty amusement park by The Needles with the overpriced parking. Horrible. The other end of the island is better but I don't think I'd go again.

Ah, just to say, as a fact, that a lot of Scottish houses have been bought by English moving up here

Ah, sorry . Yes, just to reply. Yes, lots of people from England do buy in Scotland cos it's so much a better buy after selling in England

Edinburgh. It was….ok.

The cotswolds (tourist bits)

Gail’s

Nooooo, not the Isle of Wight! We’ve been there almost annually for the last 10 years and still discovering new places!

Also disagree on CP.

Glastonbury festival is my spiritual home. I go every year it’s on and don’t recognise any of what you’ve described!

Where abouts?

Cyprus
Malta
Gran Csnaria
Carilsle

Pavers Shoes
Marks and Spencer
Waitrose

London Musicals
Stadium Music Concerts

I have lovely memories of IOW as a child. We took out children a few years ago when they were small and had a lovely time. Holidays are what you make them......

All of the UK that is north of the Watford gap, expensive to maintain and what’s the point. Bet that would sort the benefits bill out tbh.

Agree I hate nandos and wagama

What county are you talking about?
