Urban Exploration Northern Ireland

[RedLeader]

I'm a bit fan of the 28 Days Later Urban Exploration forum - some of the photos you see are truly awesome (and they accidently threatened Yvette Fieldings life which was excellent).

I came across this thread of them tramping round Belvoir Park Hospital.

It's well worth a gander.

Just had a look at that site j. Cracking find, reminds me of being a kid sneaking about round old abandoned factories scooby do style lol.

Wonder is there many sites of note from northern Ireland

Thats an excellent site, nice post.  I'd never even heard of urbex before.  I'm kinda intrigued, I'm sure all that sneaking around security guards would get the adrenaline flowing.  However I reckon my heart would give out every time I heard the slightest noise... 

[RedLeader]

Me too but I think we should consider a run to somewhere not too difficult.

nice site j i pass that place alot i forgot it was empty. anyone know anywhere else like that i love derelict buildings for a good hoak!
i used to visit the old control tower n bomb shelters in ballyhalbert, dont think they would be just as spooky these days lol

I'd be up for hittin belvior if you guys are going. To be fair whats the worst the security can do? Ask me to leave!

[RedLeader]

I think we should plan a trip. Maybe not to Belvoir first off - somewhere abandoned but less contentious as a starter for 10.
I'd love to do some photography in places like that.

why not just hit belviour!

[RedLeader]

I'm game if someone knows where to go.

why not just hit belviour!

Another good place to have a sneaky overnighter....The castle at Downhill - the one beside the Mussenden Temple. Bit further away for a local drive, but would be good to have a night there.

Belvoir sounds like a plan and it looks the part. Whereabouts is it anyway, somewhere in east Belfast or am I totally off the mark?
There must be loads of places like this around the country, I can think of 1 just down the road from me that would be good, anyone else got any ideas?

Belvoir is just beside hyde bank TA if you know where that is, near that big new tescos.

Or beside the young offenders home for the guys from Portadown

[Kirth]

I know these guys really well, infact the guy lying on the slab assists me when I shoot the Cage Wars fights.  They are bloody mad, one guy who goes with them is an ex Para!

I have been to a few of them and can give you a few locations to get ya all started. Belvoir is the best, but highly illegal.  There is security patrols going round and they have to be dodged.
