Me and my mate explored this place earlier this week. (12/25). I’ve found it hard to get some information about this place but I believe It has been abandoned since spring 2009. It appears to be a cross between a hotel and a self catering motel type thingy. The main building houses a bar...

Explored this massive place about 2 months ago. Inside not the best condition as many other had already been there and some just don’t know how to look and take pictures. Not too horrible in some places though. This is dartington hall boarding school. It was purchased in the mid 1920’s and was...

First non introductory post in here so hopefully I get this right! I'm kit, 31yo and I love taking photos in infrared, UV and full range. When possible I like to visit urbex sites since I think it pairs well with my style of photography. Explored this place in 2024 and it had been closed down...

Hello, this is my first post on here. I'm mainly in surrey but also have another house over in Devon so I'm open to locations from either. I've done some exploring before but only have 2 locations that I've gone to so far one wasn't great but the other was the fernhurst research station which...

Hi i’m a new to urban exploring, wanting to take photos mainly but can’t seem to find many good spots in Plymouth, any suggestions? Looking mainly for easy access etc!

Dairycrest, an abandoned milk based factory in Devon has probably been done to death by many on this site but it's the first time in years I found myself in this part of the world! I'd read about a fire here which apparently occurred in March 2023 so I wasn't sure if the site would still be...

OK so my earlier stuff was better (have you seen the sugar factory in Italy) but we gotta go out and find something and this is what I found. It's Vospers Motor Showroom in Exeter, which was the main Ford dealer in town and was previously known as Exeter Ford and Evans Halshaw. The original...

Hello there I was wondering if anybody else on hear would be able to recommend any abandoned/disused sites in Devon (preferably south Devon) ideally ones that are near to an in-use railway station if anybody can it would be greatly appreciated. -hoping to get a few

I'm sure some that will know of the 'hidden' ww2 communication bunkers dotted around the coastline, the remaining sections of railway, tunnels and various other structures from the 50/60's along with multiple smuggling and mining tunnels that are within the North Devon area. I'm looking for...

Kitley caves originally discovered by quarrying, it used to be open to the public as a show cave, but is now closed. The Kitley Cave Guide indicates that the main cave was entered about 1800 when quarry blasting exposed the entrance, although a more contemporaneous account claims that it was...
