This has only been covered a couple of times on here, and each time it was an overgrown mess with a lot of areas blocked off. However, Drake's Island is currently open for visits, there's a tour operating, and there's a company running Airsoft Skirmishes. The marshals are happy for you to go...

Me and my husband are new to urban exploring in Plymouth Devon. We have found a few fort tunnels in the woods but would really like to find entrances to more tunnels/air raid shelters in Plymouth or just anywhere abandoned to explore for photos/videos! Please drop me a message if anyone knows of...

Plymouth Civic Centre in 8mm After a very early start and the largest coffee that Costa sold, we were in Britain's favourite seaside town - Plymouth. Having only recently been made aware of this building's existence, I didn't really know what to expect. I find that's often the best approach...

History The china clay works at Marsh Mills were begun in the early years of the twentieth century when a large pan-kiln was constructed to dry the china clay which was brought down from the clay pits at Lee Moor by pipeline. A pan-kiln is a primitive form of drying liquid china clay by a...

I visited in October 2018 but only now been able to post. While looking around I bumped into the police as I was coming out. They where nice and let me finish looking around. The tunnels are regularly used by drug users so the police walk through most of the time. 3 main areas to this site...

First visit and upload to this website. Decided to go to a fort that hasn't had many posts about it. We managed to look around the outside of the fort, finding many old buildings and rooms of such. However, we did manage to see a corner of the fort that seemed to look unusual, so decided to...

History Built in 1962, this grade II brutalist high rise was the home for Plymouth City Council right up until its closure in 2015 and has been stood vacant since. The 15 storey, post war tower was bought by developers 'Urban Splash' who have revealed plans to turn it into flats, offices, shops...

Early this morning, a friend and I decided to load the two man kayak into the camper van and go paddling into Plymouth Sound, without any real idea of where we would end up. After pottering around the Barbican for a few moments, we turned against the tide and headed out for Drakes Island. I've...

I couldn’t find a great deal online talking about the history of the site but I did get this: The Clay Factory originally started life as a china clay works at the turn of the 1900’s – the clay was pumped down to the site from Dartmoor for drying and processing before being transported by train...

Today I decided to pay darkies tunnel a visit with two non 28D members. I don’t have any pictures of the end as sadly my phone battery got too low, but I thought what I had was still worthy of a report. Darkies tunnel (otherwise know as devonport and ford) is two disused railway tunnels that...

So me and a friend have been discussing climbing the tamar bridge. We’ve agreed if we do it, we’ll climb it at darkness to avoid the eye of the public and reduce our chance of being caught. Obviously we are aware with cameras n such there is a still a high chance of that happening. If we are...

Leigham Tunnel also known as Cann tunnel was an old tramway tunnel built early 1820’s. It is 620 yards long and pretty straight. In WW2 it would of been used as an air raid shelter to hold 3000 people. I didn’t get a great picture but at half way point was a couple of small rooms that would of...
