WARNING - Dan had my camera for some of this trip. Some of Dan's previous work:

On Sunday I got up at 6:30 to start the 2 hour drive down into the depths of Cornwall.

This is the second site of five we visited that day.
This was tricky to find. I knew the general location.
Luckily while I was driving along a road that ran on the top of a valley, I saw a barn in the distance which looked vary American and headed towards it.

Arriving here, we saw 2 buildings and thought the rest will have been knocked down. I was absolutely gutted because the place looked pretty damn cool:

I realised at this point that we hadn't found the barn yet. We saw a bridge and decided to head in that direction.

I checked on my phone and saw a load of buildings in the woods so we headed in that direction. I noticed these troughs and recognised that they were the things kids 'hunt for gold' in.
We carried on a bit further and this is the sight that greeted us. By far the most excited I've been in a while. Made me feel remarkably alone.

We saw an upstairs room with no stairs inside the building. I Climbed onto this and half-way across there was a massive crack sound. The beams looked pretty solid from below. I promptly returned to the floor.
Turns out the stairs were at the back of the building...

There was a vault with a locked door. Some people had clearly tried to get in before unsuccessfully. The walls were smashed away at.

There was however, a massive hole in the roof to the bathroom above where someone had got in.

The safe was locked. There was a few pictures inside but not much else.

Lol, looks like you had a fun day out! Great weather for it too! :)
Brilliant stuff, thank for sharing!
 
That's really cool ... What a buzz to come across the extra buildings and stuff...nice work that my friend.
 
Bloody Hell, this place has gone downhill in last year or so, such a shame that folk can’t just enjoy a good mooch and leave without vandalising and spoiling it, there is/was a stairway from the saloon to the whorehouse upstairs it wasn’t too safe when we visited.
Nice Pics I enjoyed looking, Many Thanks.
