 |  |  |  | Urban Desertion - Riber Castle
< on 9/7/2005 8:41 PM >
|  | | | I have recently set up my tent on the web. This is my first time of posting a web update page on the main section so be gentle :o)
Riber Castle
http://urbandesert....com/riber-castle/
A former Victorian folly that was once used by the MOD (they borrowed the roof!)and later used from the 60's as a small zoo which closed quite recently due to concerns over animal welfare. After it was closed the animals were sold off and a lynx went for £20 (about $12!)
A small but interesting place.
Would love any comments or feedback

| | | | Little? That place looks amazing! Compared to some of the abandonments around here (farmhouses and the like), that place is stupendous. Thanks for the trip!

| | | | Unfort there are not too many castles in rural North Carolina.
From the look of your pics on your website that place looks like it is still in pretty good condition.

| | | | I have been to riber castle, and its a smashing little place...not the most intact, the folly itself is a complete shell, but the zoo and the other buildings are quite interesting, the views from the castle/folly are awesome!!!

Hello nice to see you here!
You didnt climb the inside did you?  Or do you just mean the view down the hill which is indeed awesome, we watched some walkers literally stagger, run and slide down the hill it was that steep!

Sounds like security guards are a lot cooler in the UK than they are here in the US.

There was not a security guard in sight ... seems like they had just given up! Which was good for me

| | | | Sorry !
I should have been more specific. I was referring to A different story on your sight.
The one about Hellingly.
"According to the security guard we spoke to (who kindly gave us a tour of the burnt out mortuary) further planning considerations are being discussed at the beginning of September 2005."
I was just being retarded
