20 Reasons
not to visit barrow-in-furness
Barrow in Furness has had some bad National press recently, so we look at 20 reasons why Barrow in Furness should not only be avoided, but should be shoved out into the Irish Sea
If you’ve ever thought of visiting Barrow in Furness to enjoy; its 60km of coastline, its natural heritage which is ranked no.1 in England with the RSA, its historical buildings, its sense of adventure, its high quality events, its value for money accommodation, its welcoming people or its proximity to the English Lake District, please think again.
We can’t warn you enough, Barrow in Furness is definitely not a place to visit and you should warn your friends and family too. Even Michael Palin hasn’t been and he’s been around the world on numerous occasions.
If you think we are lying, check out these images which prove why Barrow in Furness should be chopped off mainland UK and shoved out into the Irish Sea.
1. The place is ugly, it is a grey landscape best known for wind and rain
2. In winter it's even worse...
3. The place has no character and all the buildings look the same
4. There's nowhere to visit
5. …and definitely nothing for children to do
6. The parks aren’t looked after and are full of rubbish…
7. …and the beaches are even worse
8. Yes, it may have 60km of coastline, but it’s nothing special
9. The buildings have no historical value
10. …and the wildlife is non-existent
11. The people are boring…
12. …and talentless, I mean, “What do they build in Barrow?”
13. OK, but engineering isn’t fun is it?
14. There’s nowhere nice to stay
15. The food’s rubbish…
16. …and the pubs all have sticky carpets
17. There are no activities to enjoy…
18. They say it’s a stone’s throw from the Lake District, but you’d need a bloody strong arm
19. The town centre is like a ghost town with no high street chains
20. If you’re not convinced just look how dire the place looks
