This report falls into the random and weird category of finds. I was working in an area I have not been to for a while and had finished work. I was sitting in the car having a sandwich and looking at the OS map, when somthing caught my eye. It was in the middle of some woods and marked on the map as a folly, and only 2 miles from where I was. Time for an explore! I was hoping to find a classic unexpected folly (see my post 'Hobbit House in the Cotswlds' ), but found something very different.

I think these are old holiday cottages.

Sports hall.
I neverdid find a folly, only these holiday cottages. The site looks as if it is still cared for, and someone may be living there part time, so after a quick explore time to leave, taking nothing but photos and leaving nothing but footprints.

Oh, and found this on that way back to the car.

Thanks for looking.
 
Nice, unexpected find, Neill. There's something about a site in the midst of woods and peeping out of the greenery, imo...a bit secret-gardenish! :mrgreen:
Love the swimming pool.
Cheers. :)
 
Nice find indeed....... so you didn't fancy a bit of 'skinny-dippin' then :mrgreen:


Shame you didn't find the folly though.
