- We visit the abandoned Tyneham Village in Dorset. The village was evacuated in December 1943 during WWII and has been deserted ever since. The area was needed for military training but after the war ended, the villagers were not allowed to return.
We look at the row of four terraced houses including the Post Office and School House, the laundry cottages and the Rectory. Both the restored Church and School buildings are still intact and have exhibitions about the village and villagers.
Only open certain times when the army aren't practicing, see: www.tynehamopc.org.uk/visiting...

Hi Bob and Jenny, very interesting, such a shame a very sad story. Thank you for sharing x
It’s a lovely setting but very popular. Very interesting history being kept alive by local tales. 👍🏻😃 Trev
What a fascinating place . I like to watch the journey to the places you go x
Thank you for sharing this sad but interesting video, poor people and families as well as extended family members....
Nice video Bob & Jenny as always take care see you next time .
Thanks 👍
Fascinating and idyllic but a heart-breaking outcome. Thank you from Alastair & Stef 🍻
Bob, you had me in tears of laughter. At 7.30 you notice the plaster has gone on the ruined house you visited. The house has no roof, windows, not much of a wall and you notice the plaster was missing…
Brilliant. Thanks for the chuckle, I needed it. Another great video.
I really enjoy watching your road trips to a destination and they do help to give an idea of what to expect. From the Stoneleigh Show on Friday we head North for a couple hours before starting our two week Scottish tour from Saturday morning. We can't wait to go now and we'll say hello to Bob and Ailene if they are there. Cheers, Dave and Soph x
Have a good one! Thanks.
Fascinating video as always. Thank you
Always looking forward to your videos.
Thank you
Popular place! I've seen quite a few vlogs on Tyneham village in the last few weeks. Yours is by far the most interesting and comprehensive, well done, quality as always. It is on our list, probably next year I guess.
Thank you, appreciate your feedback.
nice video Bob never knew nothing about this place been to Dorset many times.
Brilliant video thanks for sharing 🥃🥂🚐
Really interesting tour, but, yes, sad.
Great video , we were at Tyneham 5 weeks ago but didn’t have the weather you had .The site was very quiet and we throughly enjoyed it .When we went the school room and church was close due to Covid , so it was good to be able to see inside the building .We agree with your comment about the hedges in Dorset very high , enjoy the rest of your trip .
Fascinating, thanks Bob and Jenny
Very interesting Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic interesting video. Many thanks. 😀
I need to start making a list of lovely places you have visited especially with the history behind it. I wouldn't of known about them if you didn't share your journeys. Thank you for sharing these lovely videos 😘
Thank you for all your videos, yesterday we bought a motorhome……all your fault. We pick it up in 3 or 4 weeks time. Would hope to meet you both one day.
Well done, have a great time!
Lovely to see you both down south. Would love to meet up in the new forest we go there all the time. Setthorns is a beautiful place
Lovely to go round the village, very sad. Really enjoy your trip! X
Really enjoyed this video, the history is so fascinating MST visit this place, thanks for that x 👍🏴🏴🏴🏴👍
I enjoy seeing the towns and villages and countryside as you drive.
It’s a great place to visit my brother took us a few years back and told us all the story about the abandoned village it’s sad but fascinating xx
Thank you both, very interesting. take care.
Nice time capsule not been touched I made a point of visiting glad I did
Really interesting guys thanks,
You are 💯 correct the drive in is important and also part of the day out, have a great week guys 😎
Enjoyed this vid Bob, first Ive heard of this village, fascinating
Glad you are having a great time 👍
Bob, I live in Kirkintilloch, 8 miles outside Glasgow, and where I live is the site of a former Iron Founder's, called the Lion Foundry, who produced the Red Telephone boxes up until 1984, when it changed the kiosks to perspex, resulting in the closure of the Foundry. If you come across any red boxes, look to the rear of the box, and it will be most likely stamped with Lion Foundry, Kirkintilloch 😉👍
Thanks that good to know, the iron ones were the best!
I am visiting Tyneham tomorrow. The hole in the wall that you said is a sort of safe, it's a flue for the chimney.
Very interesting, good to see its being looked after, important part of our social history 😎 x
Our company installed the solar panels and wind turbine. Whilst we were at work we had many comments that it ruins the old buildings. The reason we were asked to do this was that the church and school building were very damp during the cold months and there was a danger of the buildings rotting from inside. There used to be an old LPG heating system running heating but it was pretty old and not particularly safe and at some point it was condemned. We were asked to design a system to run a renewable energy system to run a power supply that would give a minimum heating requirement to keep the damp out of the buildings, this is what you see on the old school building. We designed the system to be as unobtrusive as possible and has been running almost three years now. Whilst we were working on the project it was clear that Tyneham village had a important historical value and we were humbled to talk to people who had a connection to the village. I know that many people feel solar panels and wind turbines have no place in the village but the buildings do need protecting from the damp and we hope that our system will do its job to keep the buildings safe for many years. This has to be one of the most interesting projects our company has worked on and we hope that our work keeps the school and church safe for many years. A truly interesting location. Interesting fact, if you go to the back of the school just by the chimney, there is a bees nest in the roof. These bees are British black bees, a protected species. We worked around the ladies, mostly they were very chilled. Due to the heat that day and us making a lot of noise, they got a bit upset and we ended up installing solar panels in bee suits. Me, being a bee keeper,it did not bother me, my colleagues were not quite so sure! It was the hottest day of the year so we glad to get the job done and get out of the suits as soon as possible. Apart from the ones that stung us, no bees were harmed. I will not forget the pain being stung in the nostril by one of the little ladies though. Bless you all and the village of Tyneham.
Thank you, that's a bit of background I didn't expect. Bet the bee suits were interesting!
Going to Dorset for a few days soon Bob so your videos have been very helpful. Unfortunately this village will be closed when we visit so it's good to see it here.
Have you been following us, Bob and Jenny. Did you also visit Worbarrow Bay?
There were hundreds of thousands heading that way, no didn't fancy joining them!
@@BobEarnshawMoHo are you sure you didn’t want to join them Bob.🤔😵💫😉……🐻❄️.
No way Jose..
What a lovely area pity no one lives there. With us living in New Zealand we like to follow you on the map so we can see where you are.
Really sad story. The horrors of war
really interesting village although a bit sad, I wonder what happened to all the horses.thanks for showing us round,we are off to Hebden Bridge tomorrow in our van,take care.
beautiful place ty
Great video
When we where kids, we used to put the pen nibs into a milk straw, secure with plastercine and fire them with an elastic band. There where many adorning the ceiling in some classrooms. It must of been awful for those people who had lived there all their lives to abandon their homes. Its sacrafices like this people forget.
Yes the things we did as kids!
Interesting video,
Great video! Looks really interesting! If walls could talk!
Great...🙂👍
Bob and his wife remind me of my parents who were of the same stamp especially Bob who is build of my father
That little box with the iron door in the wall is for getting the soot out of the flu.
Thank you!
great to see again but through your eyes, Did you know about the farm at the otherside of carpark on the way to warburrow bay?. Great vlog
No, missed that, couldn't see where it was. Thanks.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo that’s a shame maybe next time
Spooky, 2 motorhome channels release videos of tyneham on the same day.
You hanging out with Ads and Zoe at Herman the Hymer? Haha
We had no idea Ads was doing a video on Tyneham!
@@BobEarnshawMoHo I enjoyed both equally.
Facinating Vid Bob, was it Used for Simulated Attacks and Raids?
School Books under the Glass, looked all Same Handwriting , too neat for a Child by looks
I don't think it was bombed or anything, it's just in the firing ranges.
😊👍
Hi Bob.Jenny& Poppy , i wonder why they were not allowed to return? is it because they still did training there after? Also did you say the land belonged to the military?( they even did training on Formby beach found lots of ww2 hand grenades bullits etc there) Sorry don't know anything about it my Father was born that year 1943 but his Father in ww2 went to Burma then. Must have been more to it to not be able to return to there homes. Lots of signs saying unsafe buildings hmm. Great video with lots to think about :)
It's still in the army range area. Didn't know that about Formby beach.
I really want to go here but would you say it was an all day event or just a few hours?
It's only open certain days when the army are not practicing warfare.
Have a look at www.tynehamopc.org.uk/visiting-tyneham/opening-times/
@@BobEarnshawMoHo Thanks. Your videos are giving me lots of ideas for mini adventures.
I'm from Poole. Dorset was much nicer during the 60s and 70s, everywhere along the coastline is so crowded now.
So sad they were deported, then again these ghost villages are scattered all over Europe. War has many more victims than those in open battle.
So true
