A WALKWAY at a popular UK supermarket is now a popular tourist attraction.<\/p>\n

Despite thousands of rave reviews, TripAdvisor has previously been forced to ban comments – although this has now been lifted.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

The perspex tunnel is found at Sainsbury's in the seaside town of Bude in Cornwall.<\/p>\n

The 230ft tunnel is used to connect the supermarket to the car park.<\/p>\n

Despite it appearing to be nothing special, it has won thousands of fans over the years.<\/p>\n

Since TripAdvisor<\/span> lifted the comment ban – after a number of 'fake' reviews – it is now the 5th best thing to do in Bude, according to reviews.<\/p>\n

There are more than 1,000 five-star reviews, with people joking how far they had travelled to visit.<\/p>\n

One said: "After many travels and witnessing many of the marvels of Europe and the North American continent, nothing quite prepared me for the sheer beauty and simplicity of the Bude Tunnel.<\/p>\n

"It needs no turrets, or columns, or architectural flourishes of any kind – the perfect curve of the arch is all you need."<\/p>\n

Someone else joked: "I've travelled the world with the Royal Navy<\/span>, I've been to the North Pole and I've tracked Lemurs in Madagascar but nothing compares to the Bude tunnel.<\/p>\n

"You have to experience it to believe it."<\/p>\n

Another person wrote: "It was one of the best tunnels I have ever seen in my life."<\/p>\n

Someone simply commented: "Ten times better than the Eiffel Tower."<\/p>\n

Not everyone is a fan of the tunnel, however.<\/p>\n

One shopper commented: "What is the hype about for this attraction? Bit of a waste of time."<\/p>\n

A second said: "Wasn't even sure we were at the right place, it's just a covered walkway, thought it was part of the supermarket. <\/p>\n

"Not really sure it should qualify as an attraction."<\/p>\n

The person who originally listed the tunnel as an attraction said they never imagined it would become such a global phenomenon.<\/p>\n

The original poster, who wanted to remain anonymous<\/span>, said: "It's been a great talking point in the town, and one that seems to have brought everyone together. That's fantastic."<\/p>\n

Back in 2018, the supermarket even turned it into a Christmas attraction.<\/p>\n

More than six-and-a-half miles of lighting was added to the covered walkway.<\/p>\n

Visitors were offered free mince pies and live performances from local choirs and dance troupes.<\/p>\n

The Bude Tunnel isn't the only strange tourist attraction in the UK.<\/p>\n

A hole in a wall in Ilkeston in Derbyshire was the fourth-best attraction in the town on TripAdvisor.<\/p>\n
