So I know it's been done to death, but it was my first real UrbEx so I thought I'd share it with you all.
As seems to be the case at the moment, there's one guard hiding between Knightmare and the Garages containing the carriages. We were there over 2 hours without being disturbed.

Enjoy!
History Lesson (from my angle)
Camelot Theme Park was, at one point, a thriving destination for tourists from every corner of the globe. After many years of failing to add attractions of any impact or appeal, dwindling visitor numbers eventually caught up with the ironically aging theme of 'Times gone by'. By the end of it's life, management devised poor and tired excuses, blaming irrelevant and impertinent events for the spiraling debts, until the excuses halted; along with the rides.
A housing development company bought the land without doing their research, and as such had their plans shot down very quickly, as locals heavily opposed the proposals. It then came out that Camelot was practically Green Belt land anyway. The development company now pay a man to sit in a box all day, watching netflix and smoking.
That said, we did see a few local residents' signs still opposing housing plans, so there may be something on the backburner here.
Clearly I'm not the first to visit, but i may be one of the last; if you haven't been, then i'd recommend a trip - there's cameLOTS TO SEE
Hope you liked
New here, so i apologise if I've hit any "faux pas"
Shall be visiting plenty more places in my area shortly, so I shall document as I go along!
