Tyneham - The Ghost Village part 1

[Weslake500]

Great video of a lovely place. been going there since the eighties when it first opened. Thank you. Do you have any winter shots, Im unable to get there in the wintern not living local. was in Swanage for a few days during winter some twenty years ago, courting a local girl. Weather was very cold, damp and windy, but still a lovely place. A different kind of beauty in the winter. Thank you again.

so beautiful,i wish they will continue preserve the beauty of the village,but hey isnt it time for them to get back what they'd had?

Would England consider taking this beautiful historic village away from the Army and placing it under control of the National Trust to preserve it? These places of home and heart tell a story about the people in their country. With technology of the modern world a mock village could be constructed for the Army's needs. It's such a sad thing to know that even today this village and others like it are not shown respect. Please give these places honor and care for the families that sacrificed.

wow. so england also dose just like they did to my people here in the u.s. indians didn,t count as people so they took our lands and killed all that stood against them once we were many now we are few. so sad.

I am sure 100% that this music does no justice to the people who left! Nor the generations who are still here and wondering when they can return.

such a shame it all got destroyed. I bet it would be a lovely little village. I never knew that had happened, the whole kicking people out thing! So sad :(

"beaterux mono do trix...somini ta leah do toru... ertuy wasd e geta sdemu ona tei ray tso...."

"beutiful ruins so lonley they cry... for redemtion is lost are forever...but ruins are the testemony and tribute of what was..."

[jamierourketen]

give it back to the descendents of the original owners!

[Sansash01202]

It belongs to the army and has done since the war .. the villagers never owned the properties, they were tenants. It's a sad story but the army need somewhere to practice if they hadn't commandeered this village it would have had to have been another.

i enjoyed watching this vid. one thing i wanted to do but missed doing when i visited England was one of those ghost tours. (southeast asian blood could not stand the cold)

thank you fo sharing.

Hi countrysidelove. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this video. However, Tyneham, to my knowledge, isn't haunted. It's called a ghost village because the entire people of this beautiful village were ordered to leave their houses so that the military could move in and use the area during World War II. You can find all the information in the side bar.

Again, thank you for watching and commenting on the video.

All the very best, David.

Beautifully made, very moving, you managed to capture the feeling you get if you are lucky enough to visit the village, thanks.
