Some sources say that parts of this gorgeous site date back to as early as 1580. The original structure was built for John Dowell of Almondsbury but unfortunately very little of this first building remain. Most of the current building was built in the early 1800s and redeveloped a decade before...

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...

Came across this one today by accident. It’s the second one I’ve found recently just by driving (for work), and also same old metal pre fab style farmhouse. No history with this I’m afraid. Found no clues inside or any paperwork. Main house was sadly empty just a few pieces of furniture and...

While driving I saw an old entrance that peaked my interest. Looked on google maps and could see some small buildings so went and had a look. So no history with this one. Sign and name on gate was ‘Orchard’ a common surname round here but large family that own a lot of land, farms, buildings...

Found this bungalow in the woods near Bude. Don’t know much history with this one, been abandoned for some time. Earliest letters I could find where from the 1990’s, most where bills chasing for money. The owner was a hoarder, the woodland outside had beds, metal, cookers, fridges. Lots of junk...

Managed to get to this one today. Very grateful to DrGonzo for the heads up on this one. Has been posted before recently. Amazing views from this house of the Tamar Valley. You have the main house and one large outbuilding split into 3 sections. The rooms in the house are good size, even the...

I’m sorry I don’t have any info on this one. Been abandoned for some years. Floor fragile and broke in places. Roof of outbuilding collapsed. Train Carriage out the back sadly rotting away. Kitchen Lounge Dining Room Union Jack paint job throughout Hallway and Bathroom Outbuilding...

Went to this one last night but recently all boarded up tight so only pictures of outside I’m afraid. No cameras but security lights for night time. If you had a ladder could of got access through upstairs window. They even blocked up all the outbuildings. Might try another day. Built approx...
