EXPLORING ABANDONED CASTLE Everything Left Behind - (Urban Exploration on Isle of Wight)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Exploring Abandoned Castle; Norris Castle located in East Cowes on the Isle of Wight. Exploration inside, this Neo-Gothic Castle sits within 225 acres of grounds.
It was designed in 1799 by the famous architect James Wyatt for Lord Henry Seymour.
The estate adjoins the neighbouring Osborne House which was the country home to Queen Victoria.
The castle had been left neglected for many years and in late 2016 the castle was purchased for 4.7million pounds by the owner of Island Harbour with the plan to turn the site into a luxury hotel and spa.
In October 2016, the parks and gardens were upgraded by Historic England to Grade I, making them the Isle of Wight's only Grade I listed landscape.
No damage was caused to the property during this visit and the site was left as it was found.
I would strongly advise against anyone attempting entry to the property as the way in has since been sealed and the site has 24hour security.

Abandoned Isle of Wight Damn this was just the place I needed for some cinematics, but it is monitored.
People need to have respect for property even when it's abandoned. Has it stops others from filming at these places. Asbestos is very serious to health yet people still don't wear the right equipment and clothing.
Abandoned Isle of Wight awesome video pal 👍
Looks like you had no right to be there, ie trespassing. There is a law btw.
Did you see the orb at 3 minutes in over snooker 🎱 table
Awesome video, great music, no unnecessary talking, thanks so much ill see what else you have!
Vanishing Point 🙂
Spooky has anyone seen the orb drop onto the snooker just after rolling the balls against each other maybe it's my eyesight
Yes I saw the orb
yes i did
I saw it also.
I seen it
Adrian Gould 🙂👍👍. Saw it also
What a beautiful place such a shame for it to be abandoned should be restored
maddie morcom - agreed!! 🙂👍👋
This is my kind of urban exploration. Nice overview of the property and no inane chit chat or observations. Beautiful old place and it does seem like a good restoration project.
This is not a medieval castle. It was built in 1799 for one thing. For another it lacks anything that looks like feasible battlements, while there are big windows on the ground floor. This is a manor house made to look (a little) like a medieval castle.
Who ever just won that £170 million euro millions should buy this and put it back to its former glory
I would I think it lovely hotel
Castles are sold relatively cheap these days, mostly because the renovation and maintenance costs are through the roof - Especially if the building is listed and needs replacements specially manufactured.
This is possibly your best video yet. The photography and editing are brilliant. Fascinating.
Thanks 😀 its very much appreciated
I went to birthday party disco there in 1979. Can't remember a thing.
That is incredible - I was at that party as well!! Very broken memories
So this was a permitted acess, not some group of vandals. Thank you for your time and effort in documenting pre resort conditions
Hark at you so what if he wasn’t permitted access broke in and took a big dump on the landing so fucking what
Looking at what the rich no longer make them happy... money does not make you happy so stop living your life for it
What a beautiful film. I have heard of the place, although I never realised that it was empty. The condition of the interior is extraordinary. I hope that it is planned to remove the asbestos and restore life to this wonderful Victorian 'Gothic' building. It would be heartbresking if it were to be vandalized.
It's been empty for some time the old guy living there died a few years back now.
It is an incredible building and mostly in great condition, fortunately, it now extremely secure with 24h security (which is why I thought it safe to now upload) as I too would be mortified if it were to become vandalised... Thanks for watching 😃
Abandoned Isle of Wight thank you, yes it is mainly in excellent condition. 'The Old Dude' Major Coventry spent a great deal of money and effort keeping it up - a small fortune was spent on the tower and north facade - and it really makes me angry when people talk as though it was neglected and allowed to fall down. Personally doubt the new people will do much in the short term
I saw the orb go by billiards table..
Malakai Susan are you talking about the camera light reflection in the window
@@juliewillard6932 at 3.04 you see it...
Or a falling speck of dust
When you were filming the snooker room I notice an orb descending from the ceiling towards the camera ? Anyone else see that ?
Yup, I saw that Orb too.
Falling speck of dust
Haunted. The orb is a ghost.
YOUTRAVEL Chris Lancaster 🙂👍👍
It’s dust
This place has security, I have been there many times and every now and then there is a black land rover sat out the front
Im gonna cry who in the world will let this castle disapear and rot its not right its so beautiful i bet with a little touch up this castle will be livible
fire witch 👍👍🙂
God, what a waste.. Taxes kill everything we spend a lifetime to create.
Exactly. Humans have a really ignorant systematic thing in place called business. Fact is business is like a life too...it will eventually die. The fault is... these tangible structures could help "new" humans. But business says "F- that".
Nice
Did any one see the orb floating in the snooker room ?
Yep, couldn't miss it 😉
Or dust as it is more commonly known.
Went there today and was met with the grumpiest man ever. Thought he was going to kill me and my girlfriend.
was it security?
Eeeek, wonder what he was protecting or hiding something there 😨
The elderly man that owned and lived in it died in 2016 and it was sold to a development company 2 years later....they're going to renovate it into a hotel.
Think the company went belly up last year as they've scrubbed all reference to what they had planned with the site from the internet
Is that still the case ? Or is it for sale ?
I dilivered a TV to them way way back, it wasn't much diferent wwhen it was occupied.
According to this piece here www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5289727/18th-century-castle-transformed-110-bed-hotel.html it is being returned to a 110 room hotel. It also mentions that the old Kaiser Wilhelm stayed there and had a bath built for him which is still there. Queen Victoria didn’t like it.
Thanks for providing this link. Very happy to hear that this amazing property will be getting a new lease on life.
It breaks my heart seeing such a lovely building left to stand empty, just imagine the echoes of life that used to go on there. Parties, family life and the joy of living. Now it stands like a ghost itself, awaiting to be something again. What's the history of this place?
I enjoyed the tour but have a request. Can you not use camera lenses that distort the subject. It's like you're looking thru a globe. Thanks
How can this all be just sitting there like that? Who owns it - what's going to be done with it? You'd think the National Trust would be interested. Here in Canada anything like that would be a treasure!
Doctor Who "The Sea Devils " was filmed there
What a beautiful building
Thankyou, Sir for a lovely tour of this abandoned castle. It's magnificent. The architecture is so beautiful. I could have watched this all night:-) The music you have put to this video is also beautiful.
Although I don't mind some communication as long as it's relevant to what they are exploring. History is amaZing.
I love your style approach as you feel the indepth explore. It's not distracted in anyway. Taking in the architecture needs a lot of concentration and thought.
Thankyou so much for the video. I look f/Ward to watching many more😊 I have Liked/Subscribed👍
Excellent Vid, would love to visit. Keep up the good work.
John Cooper - same here! 👍🙂
I got in and after 30 mins the 4 police cars turned up
Because it’s not abandoned
@@bibson1405 Figured that out after 😂

Subscribed! I used to live on the Island, moved away around 9 years ago now and I'd never seen this place up close, so this gave me some serious chills. These videos are fantastic mate, top work!
Thanks very much 😁
Matt warnes - wow! 🙂👍
It’s hard to believe that it’s just... sitting there... like that basically untouched.
It's not abandoned the owners live in the outhouse, I live about 15 minutes from Norris castle, I don't think they have the money to renovate
I'd like to see the "outhouse." I'd bet it's pretty nice to live in. I'd rather live in a smaller place than the luxury castle. Too big and gloomy even if it does have nice woodwork, etc.
Stunning.. Hope it gets renovated soon..
Never cause it contains asbestos
Kamla Dhillon-rai - same here!!! 🙂👍👍👋
Well maybe. When the price is right and the location given free.
AX TASO AX every thing can be removed and cleaned up.
I want to read the books left behind.
Such a beautiful place, so sad to see it like that. If only walls could talk? 😢
Glynis Forbes-Bloomfield 👍🙂
I walls could talk... imagine... it would be a noisy world.
need to win lottery i want what a waste stunning castle
Orb @ 3:00?
👻....
I saw it too
cliveo92 - yes 🙂👍
It's a shame seeing these stunning properties just abandoned when they could be the perfect family homes
It really is and this is such a lovely building that is now just being left to rot away as the new owner has run out of money leaving the site in limbo
Lived here for 16 years. Didn't know this place even existed. Guess I need to get out more XD
Where is this is on the isle. Wish I known when I was younger. Was born on the isle left age 8.5 .
I know it's like I've never seen these places ever
West of Ryde, near Osbourne House.
north-west of East Cowes, near the coast
Been their when it was open as a kid. Went in the cafe, (great hall). Somehow picked up a yellow plastic ashtray with Norris castle on it..
Guys that vintage Moët and other wines and drinks would be worth thousands
And part of of urban exploration is take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints. It doesn't matter what it's worth, it would be stealing and you could go to jail. Abandoned doesn't mean there is no owner.
EXACTLY Tens of thousands. Even Hundreds of Thousands
That is Beautiful and sacrilegious that it’s absolutely abandoned ⚠️😡😡😡😡😡
Wish I had the money to buy and restore this castle. What a beauty it is!
It was sold recently
@@Julesv123 how much ?. 2016 it was sold for £4.7 million I think. They went broke?.
I didn’t even realise it was there, and I live on the island.
Finding the wine cellar would have signaled break time.
Meanwhile, in the 'real' world, hundreds are homeless and shelterless - and not necessarily so because of their own choice !
it has asbestos in it. so no one lives there, not even the rich
If anything homeless directly because of these oligarchs and tyrants.
I could almost feel the Edwardian spirits.
How sad that such a lovely place was just abandoned.
Not abandoned...just void of people
You've just earnt yourself a new subscriber . I on holiday to the isle of Wight and I've never knew that there was abandoned building. That is so cool
Awesome, thank you very much Sophie!
,I'd love to just be the caretaker of this beautiful place.
Troy Brown - 👍🙂
My God that is beautiful! I was sitting here waiting for ladies in ball gowns and gentlemen in top hats and tuxedos after being announced at the top of the stairs to come walking arm and arm down the stairs to sweep the ladies on their arms into a waltz!
Kimberly Lyons 👍😃
I'm shocked that it's just there, empty.
Such a shame places like this go to waste. I would like to hear the story behind it.
Messrs Eamon O'Connor and Edward Wellington (2016 - ) Edit
In February 2016, Norris Castle was bought for £4.7 million, with the intention that it be renovated and opened as a luxury hotel. The owning company is Uavend (Norris Castle) LTD, operated by Eamon O'Connor and his business partner, Edward Wellington. The selling agent set a guide price of £1 million, with the proviso that the estate would need millions spent to restore it.[90]
At the current time, the project is in its planning and consultation stages.
Is this still the case or is it for sale ?
I love to buy it And make it BB motel and Historical sites.
From what I've gathered, the regulations on historical "listed" property are pretty extreme over there. The cost to fix it up while working around their regulations is often quite a bit more than the initial cost of the property.
Grumpy OldMan is right, it IS expensive.
Story is that the current owners bought it for, let’s say a LOT of money with the intention of making it into a hotel, they worked with Historic England and HE had it regraded as a Grade 1 property, the highest and most stringent grade there is.
The owners still have that dream but it will cost another LOT of money to do.
@@yeomanpip -- Do they get any sort of tax break with it classified as a "listed property"? Otherwise, I don't see why anyone would want to get into that sort of headache dealing with HE.
William .Gardner - that sounds cool! 🙂👍
Fascinating place, great filming & love the music choice!
great video
I had a TV aerial job for the people who were living there once. Walking through the hallways was like being in another time. Suits of armour, paintings , wall hangings, weapons. The place was quite run down and the couple lived in a small part. I think private developers have taken over but they need a huge budget and I also read the local council are not happy with the speed they are working at this time.
Where's the dungeon, with the racks for stretching folks??
Great share😨. live here in Bournemouth and have been to the island many times. No idea it was there. Shall go check out the history. Did notice you caught an orb though 😉
Orb at 2:59 from the ceiling onto the table :) Great castle
Also known as piece of dust.
@@antigonish63 - probably dust 1.5 inch in diameter
Asbestos
Celia Jarvis you don’t believe that crap do you?
@@taffythegreat1986 - Neutral. Everything is possible. Wasn't looking for orbs. This thing just prominently pops up and dives in a fraction of a second. What's up with the crop circles? For humans it will take a crew, an airborne silent vehicle, computer-generated graphics, some kind of laser technology to carve two-dimensional sculptures. The perpetrator(s) would be in jail for trespassing private property and destroying farmers' fields. So… we think we know, but we don't know and we may never know.
Great find, can’t believe a place in this good condition would just get left abandoned
That vintage Steinway & sons grand piano was beautiful from what I saw of it. 🇦🇺
Craig Kaschan - loves the grand piano! 🙂👍👍
The location for “Pony Club” parties in the late 70’s - early 80’s ...
I love your films. So well made and they really tell a story of each place with respect and admiration.
very beautifull place, thanks
RomVador Rom 👍🙂
Seeing ancient abandon properties is depressingly beautiful, it always reminds me of how short life really is, these castles have been through it all, I'd love to buy and restore one someday (thats not gonna happen)
Past few years I'v been obsessing over buying a chateau..I either have to win the lottery or find a few like minded people to share :-)
logan McKinney 🙂
Nice castle and good explore. the fire place and the feel of this place is amazing. Be a shame if it gets knocked down for cheep rubbish housing development. So much history in this building.
Gary Kinsella 🙂👍
What a beautiful old place. The piano, sheet music, book cases still containing a few volumes, all made me think of a video game: use the sheet music to pick out the proper tune on the piano, which in turn reveals the next clue.
The very first Resident Evil game
NepentheBlue 👍🙂
I would take it. How does one get a abandoned place? There's so many that could help so many.
Maxwell Lloyd-Eriksen 👍🙂
I never did figure out how to access the property entrance
This represents the exact type of ‘abandoned’ i love. Thank you for this.
W Kay 🙂👍👋
So is this where the Wight Walkers come from?
Nice one! thumbs up
What a grand place, but so lonely. Would love to know the history of the place. Thank you for the tour.
There is a Wiki about here... quite interesting read too, it was even used as a Doctor Who set.
That's mine when I win lotto 😍
I just watched this video today (1st October 2019).
Do you know the backstory of this abandoned castle?
When was the castle abandoned and why ?
And what has happened to the family or heirs to this property ?
It's such a shame that such a lovely property was left unoccupied for so long.
Bits not even oct 2019 yet it's sept
@@richardpierce4680 It's already 1st October where I am (Malaysia). You must be behind us.
I just watched it today, Oct.1st too. It’s beautiful
Why is there asbestos in a 19th century neo-gothic castle?
Amosite production began in 1858. Asbestos is that old. Henry Seymour never stopped renovating the place.
Looks in good condition
U drink any of the wine? 😀
Amazing video! Me and the people I work for actually cleared out a load of furniture before it was sold that all went to Henry Adams auctions in Chichester. It was an amazing place and the furniture that came out was amazing and had so much history to it. I never saw the swimming pool though as we wasn't aloud down to the basement due to the asbestos.
It was already pretty cool in there with most of the furniture gone, bet it must have looked amazing with all the old furniture still in there... Couldn't believe the size of it inside, would love to go back and film some more... Thanks for watching! 😁
Abandoned Isle of Wight yeah some of the furniture we took our dated back to the 1800s.. also there was a rolls Royce sitting in the barn but that went after our 4th visit. One of the security guards that was staying there at the time we went told us that late and night he could hear foot steps and doors closing... 😳

Nice music on the video you caught the atmosphere of deriliction well x
WOW Screaming out as a Film location...
Dadina Sagger 🙂👍
So much could be done with this building yet it stand empty and lifeless. WHY ?
Are you saying that you use everything you own? You have nothing that you do not use? Nothing in storage? No clothes you haven't worn in months? An extra vehicle in the driveway, RV parked in the yard?
@@tonyhoiland7481 What are you going on about ?
You asked why it was empty. My point is that wealthy people have stuff they don't use, just like regular people.
Great video but the place is eerie. Did anyone see The Black Crusade paper on the wall? Bad stuff. Loved the music. Thanks for sharing!
It’s a shame not to save it...though it probably be very costly...
and the tax money.
Isle of Wight abandoned? ... Probably not because Count David Icke lives there
Good video. A pity they do not turn this into a hospital, as it has stood the test of time and still standing.
Why a hospital?!?!? That would ruin the building!!!
Im Little shock that the mostly royal family sale to biigest placae house look nice but why why courthouse royal order to sale palace ?? Can you information about palace ? Thanks you
Always loved the island, spent money to see Osbourne and all its other gems, would love the chance to have a mooch around Norris castle, I'm that old I went on a ferry named after it lol .
I bet those bottles of wine aren’t there any more! 😜
What a lovely lovely home that would make❤️
bodge6886 - 🙂👍👍👋
visiting a castle would be on my bucketlist
This, not really a castle, would be easy for you to visit. There are many mansions like this all over the world. Most are open to the public and are like museums. My favorite is Casa Loma in Toronto. Just do a quick Google search for castles/mansions open to the public near you.
Eric Kort - same here for my channel!!! 🙂👍👍
Great video, awesome place. Thanks for sharing
How Terribly Sad...
