    Exploring the dilapidated ruins of civilisation, abandoned untouched millionaire mansions, secret underground bunkers, derelict industrial factories and abandoned theme parks. We're not serious urban explorers, if you can't tell, so don't expect a history documentary packed with valuable information. Instead expect 3 down to earth guys exploring abandoned places. Urban Exploration is not for kiddies. Be safe whilst exploring.

    My uncle built that. As I was growing up I watched this being built. They (his wife was my Aunt and loved Italy as much) would travel often to Italy and bring home bits, as well as photographs of the buildings. It took ages to build, but was amazing to see as they were going up. That was a chicken coup, he was a chicken farmer for years.

    I lived down the road there in my teens, magical place. Further up that path it Opens up to a clearing with the shell of a small village and a petite waterfall. Down in Corris village there is also a huge spooky church that looks abandoned. Menacing as fuck vibes form it. Would be amazing if you explored more of that area.
