We Explored Britain's Abandoned "GHOST VILLAGE" from World War 2 - Tyneham & Worbarrow Bay, Dorset

Hi, join us as we explore Tyneham Village in Dorset, one of Britain's most fascinating abandoned villages, before taking a short walk down a beautiful valley path to the secluded Worbarrow Bay on the Jurassic Coast. Hidden away in the Purbeck countryside near Wareham, Tyneham is often referred to as Dorset's 'ghost village' or 'lost village', with a fascinating history dating back to the Second World War. In December 1943, the residents of Tyneham were given just weeks to leave their homes so the British Army could use the surrounding land for military training. They believed they would be able to return after the war, but sadly that day never came. Today, visitors can wander through the remains of the abandoned cottages, explore the old village school and church, and discover what life was once like in this peaceful Dorset community. After exploring Tyneham, we continue our walk towards Worbarrow Bay, a secluded beach, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and stunning coastal scenery. The walk from Tyneham Village to Worbarrow Bay is approximately one mile, making it a lovely way to combine British history, countryside walking and some of Dorset's most spectacular coastal views. If you're planning a trip to Tyneham Village, Worbarrow Bay or the Jurassic Coast, or you simply enjoy UK travel vlogs, scenic walks and exploring hidden corners of England, we hope you'll put your feet up and enjoy coming along with us.
