Stressed tourist who struggled to navigate 700-year-old UK village calls for 'complete redesign'

A disappointed tourist has told others "not to bother" visiting of one of the UK's oldest fishing villages and called for a complete "redesign" of the historic site. The Birmingham native was less than impressed after a trip to the ancient village of Mevagissey, well-known for being home to one of the most picturesque harbours in Cornwall.

After having difficulty navigating the narrow cobbled streets, the Brummie left a scathing 131-word review of the area on Tripadvisor. In their post, they called for a full revamp of the 700-year-old fishing port to better suit those who aren't a fan of its layout.

The harsh commentary failed to consider the history of the site, which has records dating back to the Bronze Age when people travelled by foot, carriage or boat. The reviewer instead slammed the "ridiculously positioned car parks" and the scenic harbour for having "nowhere to sit" and "nowhere to dine outside."
