Following on from the ‘bridges’ thread the other week. Does anybody pass any interesting ruins on their local ride?

I’ll start off. Ruined church at Sutton Verny (Wylye valley, Wilts)

I live opposite this

Not too sure if a persevered ruin of a chimney stack counts as interesting though 🙂

Not a real ruin but a folly. St David’s in Cottingley Woods.

White Ladies Priory, Boscobel Staffs.

From when I used to live near the coast a few years ago

Only old lumps of industrial archaeology round here (although there are apparently some Bronze Age cairns in the woods too but I haven’t found them yet).

Lennox Castle, ex mental hospital.

Hisley Woods Dartmoor

Elizabethan hunting lodge party pad

Bike’s looking good, Jerry! (You were right the other day, by the way! :D)

Western side of Loch Etive, close to the bothy – Easter a couple of years ago.

(Oops, sorry – missed the ‘local ride’ caveat!)

@GlasgowDan, where exactly is that, I feel i should know it

Found this on the beach today, don’t usually venture onto the sand.

Across the River from me, Queen Victoria Country Park, an ex War Hospital, can be seen from Southampton Water..

And Knowle Hospital.
This was one of those Hospitals that unmarried Mothers went to when deemed “unsuitable for Marriage” Rumour has it 1500 or so graves are buried in the field below the old hospital, most have no name plaques and a lot has been desecrated by Fareham BC in their move to turn the old Hospital into a new housing development. Theres a meeting once a year to remember all those Women who were interned there and never left.. Very Sad.

Phoside Mill about a mile a way.

Old Shooting cabin on Kinder.

I love ruins 😀

That chimney stack must be interesting judging by the number of onlookers!

Today

[url=https://flic.kr/p/pDsESe]P1120880[/url] by SGMTB, on Flickr

Which part of Didcot would you like a photo of?

Most of Edinburgh’s roads are in ruins, do they count?

Grove Mill

Marian Mill

The Odeon cinema in Newcastle…

@bikebouy – I assume you know the story of Netley, the wounded troops where unloaded there so that when the boats docked in Southampton the families there saw only healthy returning soldiers.

The best ruin on my local rides would have been the old cabin/shed after which the trail Deliverence was named on Leith Hill. It’s collapsed now so just a pile of wood and corrugated metal.

Ruine Burg Frankenstein / Frankenstein’s Castle

Don’t seem to have any pics showing the “ruinness” of it.

Rode past this today – Peveril Castle

In the absence of a self portrait have this, old gang smelting mill and hard level gill

Looks familiar from old walking trips. Is that Upper Swaledale (Reeth) area?

toofarwest – is that on the beach heading from Llanddwyn to Maltraeth?

RedThunder – KingsWeston House folly?

ElShalimo – Member

toofarwest – is that on the beach heading from Llanddwyn to Maltraeth?

No it’s Pembrey, same place as the first pic in the battle on the beach story currently on the home page.

Just up the road from Reeth behind Calver hill, taken from the climb up towards Melbecks / Great Pinseat. If I was a better boy scout I’d be able to work out the grid reference!

Abandoned Hospital yards from house, place is riddled with Asbestos!

Llanthony Priory. Just across the fields from me

In context. Priory in the centre right and my gaff in the hazey distance to the left

not a ruin as such, but an old memorial in NW London

Can I have this?

It’s from about 1890, very well constructed, apparently worth building rather than an incline over a small rise.

Black hole

Ruins are awesome.

First class contributions guys.

SC winning my vote so far. What an amazing locality to explore.

Seaton Delaval Mausoleum and the crypt underneath it.
