redoubt

Introduction This was the first of two successful site visits on a day out with @Wastelandr on the South Coast. This has popped up a few times online recently, and we were keen to check it out while access was understood to be fairly straightforward. Information & History The Eastbourne Redoubt...

A series of photos from three visits to this site over 2021, 22, and 23. Going really far back into my archive now. It turns out I have stuff spanning 2021 to 2025 in my hard drive just sat there never posted. I hope no one minds my dumping of historical visits - if I don't put them here they'll...

History The North Weald Redoubt, or to give it it’s technical title, The North Weald London Mobilisation Centre, is a Victorian fortification at the top of the hill behind the village hall. It sits within an area once known as Ongar Great Park, the oldest recorded park in England, originating in...

After doing some research, North Weald Redoubt seemed like a great first proper urbex explore. It looked easy enough to get to, had a mix of above-ground ruins and underground tunnels, and had plenty of history behind it. I knew there were already tons of reports on the place, but I figured I’d...

1. The History Unlike my two China reports, there’s loads of history about this place, so here goes. The Gin Drinkers Line) was a WW2 British military defensive line based loosely on the concept of France’s Maginot Line. It stretched from and it was intended that it would protect the colony...

History- Lots of History on the site so I will keep mine pretty brief, Lots of these sites were built around London to keep safe from a possible invasion they are not abandoned. North Weald Redoubt is a fine example of a rare type of historic monument, a mobilisation centre for the defence of...

North Weald Redoubt - North Weald - August 2023 Off to explore a place thats seemingly somewhat "easy" for access for beginners and interesting enough to satisfy the military and subterranean nerd in me, I made my way to North Weald Bassett, not far North East from Epping. Not having a car at...

Visited with Ella. On our way to Norfolk we stopped off here, it’s a shame it’s really flooded and I now understand we missed a bit including a tunnel we have now been told about. Made for a nice little explore though if you like the old military stuff. Entry was pretty simple if a little...

Explored with @WilsonTheHuman I wanted to do north weald Bassett for a while now but for some reason just never got around to exploring the fort, Well to kick off the 2023 travels, we picked up friends ( one who is local to me.) And another friend who was staying near the fort and headed to...

Its been a long time since being able to do a proper explore but 2022 is off to a good start. I have wanted to visit this place for some time and finally got round to completing this explore. We tried to explore some other locations during the day but couldn't find them so we arrvied here in...

Ongar Radio Station.. North Weald Redoubt, ESSEX These were the first buildings we came to.. it served many purposes over the years.. most recently it was home to Ongar Radio Station. The site was ALOT bigger than we expected ☆☆☆ North Weald Redoubt ...

First post Visited with my partner as seen pictures online. Quite easy entry in comparison to videos online. The main site is flooded. Though great to walk about. North Weald London Mobilisation Centre, is a Victorian fortification at the top of the hill behind the village hall. In its day it...

This is my first post so I hope that I have done everything correctly... Please let me know if not :) I apologize in advance for any spelling mistakes! History- The North Weald Redoubt was the first of the London Mobilisation centre built in the 1980s to protect London from invasion. As part of...

Not only is this my first report, it's also the first time I've ever done any 'proper' urban exploration. I have always liked the idea of snooping around derelict places, and whilst browsing the internet the other day I found the North Weald Redoubt, and it really piqued my interest. It's one...

I finally got out on my first explores of the new decade and quite by accident managed to finally visit North Weald Redoubt, a place I had assumed was on the 'wrong' side of Essex for me (read: the very far side) for years so had never actually factored it into any of my occasional trips out...
