Coronation Street Experience

You'll either feel like you've stepped into your nan's telly or question why you're paying to gawk at a fake pub, but there's something genuinely brilliant about wandering down those famous cobbles. The outdoor sets are the real deal – where decades of drama unfolded before they moved filming to Salford. You can peek into the Rovers Return, nose around Roy's Rolls, and stand exactly where countless characters have had their explosive rows. The tour guides know their stuff and aren't shy about dropping behind-the-scenes gossip that'll make you see the show differently. Sure, it's touristy as hell, but even cynics find themselves snapping photos outside the corner shop. Just don't expect it to take up your whole day – you'll be done in about an hour.
