Life-Changing Experience
Pros:
"All I can say is that since I have visited the Bude tunnel, my life has felt different - calmer, more fulfilled."
"Youβre taken back through the deep history of Bude as you descend through the transient domed walls of the tunnel."
"This tunnel is amazing... I entered the tunnel on a very hot day and by the time I came out at the other end I lost 4lb in weight."
"This experience has been the best I have ever seen. the curvature of the walls is just stunning."
"Words can't describe the feeling of emotion that washes over you upon entry."
"Previous reviews do no justice to the magnitude of breathtaking beauty this tunnel beholds."
"The tunnel's design is absolutely life-changing."
"To those who have not yet ventured into this holy sanctuary, I beseech you: journey across the globe, traverse mountains, and cross oceans if necessary."
Cons:
"The overall experience was great... However, the customer service left a bit to be desired."
"Only criticism is the carpark is maximum stay 90 minutes, which leaves things quite tight if you want to fully enjoy and explore the whole site."
"Parking wasn't great :("
"Let's just say the only positive outcome was the free parking for 90 minutes."
"So disappointed. We drove 40 mins to see the tunnel lit up and was so disappointed that it was no where near expectations. No lights. Just a tunnel."
"Wee Connor struggles with many things, but look at the enjoyment the VIP Tunnel experience for only Β£14.99 bought him."
"No place like it, forget about your silly little Old Trafford and Etihad Stadium."
"Not sure why people rave about this. Itβs next to a supermarket and is a means to an end - shortest way to gain entry to said supermarket and your will be dry on a rainy day."
Architectural Marvel
Pros:
"A marriage of utility and beauty, bringing shelter to the needy and filling on lookers with awe."
"A brilliant visit to a remarkable attraction... the random, almost playful way that some of the perspex plates are missing."
"The tunnel's design is absolutely life-changing. As I strolled through, I couldn't help but be captivated by the natural light filtering through its transparent walls."
"Step into the Bude tunnelβa mysterious masterpiece! At first glance, it resembles a trolley bay, but hold your laughter!"
"The tunnel itself is an engineering marvel, with its brick archways and curved walls that create a sense of mystery and intrigue."
"I've seen some of the most amazing wonders of the world, from the great Pyramid, through to the 12 apostles, None have come close to the Bude Tunnel."
"The views were spectacular. As well as being a cultural masterpiece it also served a practical function as I was able to walk from my car to the Sainsburys store completely undercover."
"I feel so ashamed about the Louvres pyramid that I daren't go back home."
Cons:
"OK, I absolutely love Bude. The people the place. The town centre is great. The beaches are absolutely beautiful. I would live here if I could afford to do so π. Bude tunnel, yes something different, but it's just a shelter."
"The tunnel is built to keep shoppers dry as they go from the car park to the doors of Sainsburys."
"The wind whipped through my hair as I sped along the Cornish coast, the Bude Tunnel looming before me. Local legends whispered of its extraordinary powers, claiming that at precisely 88 miles per hour, a daring run through the tunnel unlocked a portal to time travel."
"I am a man of few words... Unless they are about The Bude Tunnel. Never have I seen such a great attraction as The Bude Tunnel. Absolutely breath taking."
"I passed through the Bude Tunnel on the way back to Crooklets with a 24 pack of Carlsberg on my shoulder, and was moved to utter the words 'Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.'"
"Itβs not often you have the privilege of visiting an international heritage site without being price-gouged on tickets / overpriced food services and tourist traps."
"This has got to be one of the modern manmade wonders of the world truly awe inspiring features.the curved perspex class just blew me away.i only went into Argos to get a heater this unexpected surprise made my day.this should be on the bucket list of things to do before you die."
"The tunnel is built to keep shoppers dry as they go from the car park to the doors of Sainsburys. Sainsbury could have put the door by the car park but if they did there would be no one writing about a glorified trolley tunnel."
