Exploring the dilapidated ruins of civilisation, abandoned untouched millionaire mansions, secret underground bunkers, derelict industrial factories and abandoned theme parks. We're not serious urban explorers, if you can't tell, so don't expect a history documentary packed with valuable information. Instead expect 3 down to earth guys exploring abandoned places. Urban Exploration is not for kiddies. Be safe whilst exploring. - Zábava
My uncle built that. As I was growing up I watched this being built. They (his wife was my Aunt and loved Italy as much) would travel often to Italy and bring home bits, as well as photographs of the buildings. It took ages to build, but was amazing to see as they were going up. That was a chicken coup, he was a chicken farmer for years.
Thanks for that. Amazing!
🙄
Thats Corris aint it
Crazy beautiful
I'm surprised I've been Wales a couple of times but I've never seen or heard of that place
"Shut up baldy get back in the van"
...for next time Jada gets out of line
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do Toy photography, i immediately saw this and thought I'm gonna go to that B&B seen as though someone has left a beautiful little movie set there.. Cheers boys!
Yes!! This would be a great spot for that. I used to do some with my partner until we had a kid, but I still see spots sometime and think about bustin some toys out.
There's a real life size Italian village near my home town in North Wales its called Portmeirion its famous over the world and has been a filming site for some well known Movies, Its close to Porthmadog and just outside of Penrhyndeudraeth, You should visit theres a lot of nice places to see and do stuff in Portmeirion and Porthmadog area.
It’s not Italian … 🙄
@@andyxox4168 Portmeirion is an Italianesque village .
@@maskedavenger2578 That's what I was about to say also haha.
@@maskedavenger2578 I think you mean “Italianate” which is a distinct 19th century phase in the history of Classical architecture.
@@andyxox4168 Yes I spelt it wrong ,no big deal ,but that’s what the man who designed the village based it on. .The place certainly isn’t looking Welsh .
I lived down the road there in my teens, magical place. Further up that path it Opens up to a clearing with the shell of a small village and a petite waterfall. Down in Corris village there is also a huge spooky church that looks abandoned. Menacing as fuck vibes form it. Would be amazing if you explored more of that area.
Grew up in Corris in the 80's before i left for the bright lights of Dolgellau ha
@@andyh6849 ha, Dolgellau the land of plenty
This episode was so wholesome, the boys just being really stoked about the tiny houses.
@6:17 Norton seems a little happy to be there.
Little Italy in Wales? What a nice find! That place looks cool as heck!
"Imagine Bradford... with like a big church in the middle of it" - and then you get Italy ahaha
IKR lmao!😁🤣🤣✌
As a man from Bradford; YES
That’s Palladio’s Chiericatia plaza, the sculpture has made a few of his buildings.
I am dumbfounded, it is grand! many thanks for that magical glimpse into architectural schools in miniature...doric, ionic, corinthian, tuscan, composite.... Un grand merci. Museum quality:)
The half circle wooden frame is a frame you’d use to create an arch or a dome, you’d then knock it out to use again on other, bricklaying/sculpture making 101.
Yes! I was shouting "formwork" at the screen for most of that.
Check out Portmeirion ,a life size copy of Capri
So many people have visited and done videos. Good to see you lads tackle this place only you know how.
What an absolute wonder this place is. His eye for detail is fascinating. Thanks for taking us along guys ✌️❤
That place is so awesome. I would love to be able to see it some day. Thanks guys
Like Norton said. 'It's a jig.' It's for moulding arches.
I have seen this before in other youtuber's video. However, u guys always bring a unique perspective to everything and anything. Thx for sharing 😀
Wow that place was cute in a weird way. Great explore guys! Norton you looking well with your makeover 😘 from hippy to dapper in 60 seconds 🤗
Morning guys! Thank u again much luv
Norton the shoemaker🤣
What an amazing place! And some laughs too, best exploring channel on CZcams 🖤
Great explore, "THe Welsh Wurzel" made me roll up. You guys are amazing.
You would think the owners of the b and b would keep up with the weeds a bit more but it's still a really cool find
Nice one guys 👍
Great video lads cheers !!
This is amazing, pure talent! I'm happy i saw this
I wants to go there
Wow, that’s incredible 😳 never knew
Thanks for sharing 👍
The thing that looks like roof is a wooden form for making brick arches.
Yes! I was shouting "formwork" at the screen for most of that.
An hour long documentary from you boys would be ace
Great video as always. You guys are great. You make me laugh
This place is incredible! Wales has a few places like this.
I would like to Visit that place. Thanks for the Video.
Fuckin love this channel. Only one I've been watching for soo long. Got me though my isolation guys, thanks for the good vibes.
Back in the early noughties this was Wales's main tourist attraction.
no it fukin wasn't. Always been Llandudno and snowdon. Port Merion was and Italian style fake village nr Port madoc which feature in The Prisoner tv series , you might be thinkin ov that
@@impowaster I'll be honest, I wasn't being ENTIRELY serious when I wrote that comment.
You obviously haven't seen the sheep, then,........
I can’t get over the haircut lol Nice episode! You goons keep up the good work
Wow! What an incredible place. What a hobby he must of had. 😊👍
I'd love to see you guys do a straight line mission with geowizard
Haha Norton in his shorts and sandals and Al in his best trainers, living off berries from random bushes for 3 days. you trying to kill em? lol
Holy shit that would be an epic crossover.
That would be so good, i feel like they would clash though 😂
This place is awesome! And I don’t know why but whenever Norton farts on a video I replay it once, and only once. Another good one lads well done! 👍
Norton's looking dapper! His store must be doing well!
a shoe maker in Italy ...Coblers
Wales/Italy is a fire combo. Look at Calzaghe. ❤
That place is great!, just like Wales is!😁, perfect weather to film that aswel, makes it look all the more authentic!😃,
Loving the new slick hairdo Norton!, very smart indeed!😁👌,
Takecare geezers!😜✌
love the new haircut
Love the intro music, love nortons hair & i love norton x
I'm glad Norton got his signature fart in there! 🤣😜👍
It's a shame if this place isn't maintained, those are fantastic models. What a cool place
Top Job Chaps 🤘
Bluddy-ell fiyuh lad, ye've ad yer uur chopped! Look completely different for it!
Keep up the awesomeness!
The ‘part’ you found is a jig for building an arch, build the arch over the top then take it away once the mortar has set.
Cool place..an your haircut..you look so different, I almost thought there was someone new in the group lol Anyway just wanted to say hi an luv you guys❣💋💋
Haha. Great as usual lads.
Thought Clair Balding had joined the channel but then I realised that Norton has had a hair cut...!
Love you Lloyd
Wow thats just beautiful
Nice to see exploring with Josh returned again 🤣
bloody love wales, me.
In the thumbnail it looks like a tiny model lol. Did you use a tilt shift lens for the shot?
best one yet not creepy but im gonna try to go there thanks. plus has he burnt savilles coat?
A incredible place.
There’s also a Welsh town in Italy
First shot behind Al walking uphill you know straight off it's him because he playing pocket pool as usual. Noice!
awsesome find boys norton liking the new hair cut
cool place
could have a day out in Portmerion and give us your take on it all, would be interesting if a little " normal".
Reminds me a bit of "Labyrinth". I suppose Al's farts can make up for the Bog of Eternal Stench lol.
Beauitiful place!
such a great place
11:40 Subtle lmao.
Miss your Viking locks Norton but u still rocking that new hair cut 😊 beautiful spot u guys found btw ! Remember everything in the comments is true 😂😋😇
I saw this not long ago, the couple died I think. The national park has taken it up and they will restore the garden which is brill. Glad you went to see it, looks even better on a nice day ;)
Brilliant
Apparently it started as a full sized Italian village, but it shrunk in the wash :P
You've got the Welsh rain to thank for that.
Does anyone know of any updates on this place? I found it online and I also found articles it says about the locals trying to reserve and restore it. I don’t think it’s an Airbnb anymore unfortunately
wales never disappoints
Is that the place where there are dragons buried underneath it ? Actual dragons ? Did the Welsh fight off real dragons because they kept eating their sheep , and well , the Welsh _reallllly_ like their sheep if y'know what I mean . ?
@@SabbaticusRex thats the one
@@SabbaticusRex ...or Wyoming. 🐈
@@deozeo4442 Don't forget the Yorkshire man!, maybe that's why the Hoe guys spend a lot of time in Wales, 😁 Diversity!🤣 also why they get on so well with Kurt!😁🤣✌
How bizarre.
The arch is used for concrete shuttering you build around it .then take it away ,I worked on the huge manholes for drainage on motorways bck in the 80,s , peace
I've been there, lovely place.
The stuff of dreams 👌🏻
Love it..🥰
I live near there. Awesome place.
OMFG!!! LOVE THE BLUGE!!!!🌹🌹🥰🥰🥰😜😜😜
thank u tons
why did my sub got removed???
its a blast watching you guys!
Feck Norton has traveled back in time and he now looks about 16 again I wish he would tell us the magical ingredient so I can fix my age decreasing time machine.
Thought this might be Portmeirion
I did too. But there are different accounts as to how much of it is left.
@@disullivan958 There's a lot of Port Meirion left I think. I'm pretty sure it's still open. I was THERE a few years ago! Nice place. Weird though. I ought to go again actually.
Some other explorers made a video about this place a few weeks ago😝
I love it. Where is this ?
Game is to be sold not told
Near Corris
Where is this place ? tell me please 🙏 would love to have a look 👍❤️Loving All Your Cracking Videos xxx
Where is it ? Want to go
Seriously cool.
Seen Kurt do this ages ago 😝
I'm pooping.
They must have had a thing about Italian structure in Wales because there is Portmerion too.
I'll buy it Norton put it in a paper bag
You guys crack me up. I imagine myself walking around with you in the abandoned buildings, normally because I'm stoned to f*
I just got a new tv that actually supports CZcams 🙏🙏🙏 thank f*
I'm now watching my favourite CZcamsrs in HD. I'll watch you guys in a minute 😀
Watching one about an abandoned house in the middle of butt f*
wow
Bubbling
Why didn't you see the Colosseum? It looks like the sculptor was mostly interested in Renaissance architecture. Maybe he wasn't interested in classical buildings.
Outside of Wales, the most Welsh speakers are found in the Chubut province of Argentina.
I thought you wondered which window went in first
