Introduction This is one of those large-scale ‘classic’ UK sites that I have always wanted to tick off the list and have always had in the back of my head, a bit like how Fletcher’s and RAE Bedford were for me. The main draw for me was the engine room with the large engines in situ, but was...

Introduction Once again a fantastic 28 Days Later meet, this time in Bristol. It's a shame I didn’t get involved in Friday’s antics or the afterparty on the Saturday after the pub visits, but it was still great to meet both familiar and new faces. I used the meet as an opportunity to visit a...

This is down the road from me, yet I've never really bothered doing a proper explore until now... was a snowy day again, much like my explore of RAF Culmhead (Here), had a soundtrack of some cars cocking about on the snow for the entire visit. It is mostly open to the public, except for the...

A local one for me, and with the short days over the winter, figured I should finally get it done, as it's been sat low on my list for a long while now. Definitely late to the party with this one, but I've only been doing this a little over a year now. Not been posted in a while either, so about...

Another local one for me, knew about it for a long time, even before I got into exploring. Large mills are a rarity down south, so I couldn't not get myself in the biggest in the South West! Would have liked to have done the Tone Works, but short of shimmying across a pipe, there's no way in...

I didn't have much hope in this explore prior to turning up...wasn't even sure I'd be able to get in at one point - but this one turned out to be a pearler! Probably the best one I have done in a while...but fiiiirst, a little background. HISTORY Emborough Quarry is a dormant quarry and has...

I stumbled across this place completely by accident on the way to another site. Worth a little wonder about if you happen to be in the area. History I wouldn't say the history of this site is particularly interesting to be honest. JF Pearce is a haulage company which serves the south and the...

I visited this site on the same day as my Westdown Quarry jaunt found here: https://www.28dayslater.co.uk/threads/westdown-quarry-nr-frome-somerset-july-2020.124180/ So I have many of the same issues with the photos which have come out poorly due to a dirty lense. Apologies for that. My phone...

First report for 28DL, I hope you guys enjoy/find some use of it. Haven't been doing much in the way or Urbex the last year or so and decided to ease myself back in with a nice stress-free explore local(ish) to me. Before we start apologies for the poor picture quality, I only use my phone...

HMP Shepton Mallet (also known as Cornhill) So this is the first 'permission visit' report I've ever posted. It's not usually my style, but I actually found this really interesting and thought it would be worth sharing some photos from inside the former Shepton Mallet prison. It's open for...

Wellington Monument,Somerset First off, this is hardly an epic. It's more in here in case anyone else wants to go and have a poke before it the scaffolding goes or they alarm it etc etc. Anyone who has driven down the M5 and paid attention to their surroundings may have noticed a small...

Birnbeck Pier is a pier situated on the Bristol Channel in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, England, approximately 18 miles (29 km) south-west of Bristol. It is the only pier in the country which links the mainland to an island(Birnbeck Island a 3 acre rocky island just to the west of Worlebury...

Hey people, Firstly loving the work you all put into this inspiring hobby! I'm no where near as hardcore as most of you hense me posting this but me and friend are looking into maybe roaming around and finding interesting places frozen in history but don't know where to begin. I understand...

Found this place thanks to this thread (https://www.28dayslater.co.uk/threads/periton-mead-minehead-somerset-sept-2017.110067/#post-1239515). Saw it was about 50 min drive away and looked good on google maps so headed up and was plesently suprised by how easy it was to get in and how much was...

Old Somerset Bridge Primary School, the roof was collapsed during a storm causing the school to close and relocate. I've been to this site once before before some of the buildings were fully demolished however I only went back recently to take photos (The only camera I had available was my phone...

Good Afternoon all, I’m new to this urban exploration and a few friends have also taken to do doing this. We are looking for places around Somerset we can go and explore, the internet doesn’t seem to have many positive results but we did find a couple cool places to go take some pictures...
