Wall Park Holiday Village, Brixham, Devon, March 09

Not massive in the picture inspiring front but urbex all the same.

Went with Spikey. I had heard this park had closed so thought it was worth a reccee.

http://www.thisissouthdevon.co.uk/news/30-threat-holiday-village/article-524912-detail/article.html

Tried the main entrance but Spikey soon spotted security and a nice shiny new car. Evasive manoeuvres required.

Pretty good fun dodging the security hut as we went about. Not loads to see, once you had seen one chalet you had seen them all. Bar some had double glazed doors and others didn't.......

Pics:

'scuse the reflection

Everything looked like this..

Found a very sorry crazy golf course, probs the worst I've seen - so had to do a group shot to make it a bit more intersting

Not sure what ran on this course, appaling surface...

Beast of a climbing wall with dodgy floors

Of course another group shot in this

Empty on-site pub

Shhhh, tis security

Cheers

Excellent pics mate, not seen here since 1991 when I was working at a holiday camp up the road in Paignton. The chalets needed major upgraded when we went across, (used to get a pass to watch the *cough* entertainment on their cabaret nights, as they had different cabarets to us, so made a change.

Those chalets with the posh doors and double glazing were the Club class chalets, nicer ones looking at them than ours were. I see you went in the Queen Vic pub lol, did you manage to get into the main ballroom?

Good pics and good work mate,

Cheers,

Sal

I delivered here a few times when I was living down there.

Wonder if this will suffer the same fate as The Dolphin holiday camp (Also ex Pontins)!

The chalet kitchen units are similar to the ones my parents had in the 1980s.

Pincheck · Mar 12, 2009

very strange ? the way things aregoing this kind of place could become more popular as we all stay at home :neutral:

Kezza · Mar 22, 2009

Cool. that pic with all the tyres and rough surface looks like a Quad track! Wicked holiday site if it was!!!!! :mrgreen:

spikey · Mar 22, 2009

hi does anyone know if there is any plans to do anything to the camp? what is security like on the site is it easy to gain access.

sam1990 · Jun 24, 2009

I went to one of those once, which had been taken over by an outdoor kids weekend break type company.

Scary stuff, someone forgot their key, and offered to climb through the open window to release the inner door lock, but then declined as i saw the whole wall start to bend outwards under my weight! :neutral:

Active with security hut near the main gate.

Plans, who knows? Could become another Dolphin Holiday Camp & become run down, vandalised & torched on a regular basis or could become demo'd & converted into a housing development.

Certainly with the current owners, it'll not reopen as a holiday camp!

spikey · Jun 29, 2009

well not trying to break the site rules --- a few urbex got caught afetr us -- so there defo security -- as for access i cant tell ya on here

pm me or scrub

50 white front doors

Interesting History, Club class chalets you say everybody loves an Upgrade ,Even if your Chalet does have the same front door as fifty other chalets,the place is a Communists dream Holiday ..

orientfan16 · Sep 22, 2009

It would be a shame if it becomes another housing development.

Like on of the other posters said, you prob would have thought camps like this would be making more money due to this financial climate. Wonder why it closed!!??

Timmy · Sep 23, 2009

i met my first girl friend here ... very sad to see it shut down
