"Three short strides takes you from one end of the street to the next, and it's occupied by the thin end of Mackays Hotel."

TripAdvisor user @ITRT explained: "The Guinness Book of World Records has documented this street as the smallest street in the world.

"The length of the street is only six feet 9 inches long, the distance between the No. 1 signs on the only building on this 1833 street. As you drive by, if you blink you will miss it, like I did on the first pass by."
