i went up about a year ago, didn’t geet in past the gates as the mad security guard was grumbling around so instead we walked the perimeter and on the way came across a dead slown worn in the footpath behind a beheaded squirrel near the road and a dead cat (which actually looked quite peaceful). these animals were just around the perimeter so i was feeling a bit spooked and as we came out of the footpath the security guard waiting for us with a van and threatened us with the barking dogs inside and told us he knew were our cars were. by that point we had already decided not to go in as he had seen us standing at the gates for a while just looking and discussing the building, reading about this place i can’t imagine it being too creepy as it is not a really old assylum and human rights will have protected any patients but the cirle of dead animals makes me kind of glad we didn’t go in with my overactive imagination. Beautiful overall site though

Hi. Me and and a friend of mine went in last month.

The man with his dog is called Elwyn and he’s fairly famous amongst urban explorers there. He spotted us, but we escaped his angry dog in the vastness of the building.

He called the police and gave them details of our car (?) which was parked on a nearby road. So i’d park further away if you’re travelling in a vehicle. The police took our details but accepted that we were ‘photographers’ and not there to steal anything or do any further damage.

Well worth a look, the main building with the clock tower is the best place to start.

Was In there today, gates wide open, yeah signs everywhere about trespassers, but some things you just ignore….
Camera at the ready got inside was there for about 20mns and got caught by a rather angry security guard, and a tail wagging guard dog.. a bit of a give away!!
So feeling like naughty kids we were escorted off the property, with threats of confiscating our camera images.. just like to see him try… the building has had some mindless grafitti and vandalism, but apart from that it is in a very dangerous state, got home, told my daughter and she told me off…. we, being a couple in our late 50′s, having parked the car just outside the gates, neve thinking we would be caught!! and to top it off, told off, by my daughter who has been there on many occassions… if u can take a sneaky peek inside, its well worth the effort, a very spooky but beautiful set of buildings…..

I agree the main hall does look rather uninspiring, but it’s also possible to see how the ceiling has been considerably lowered over time – such is the way of modernity! However, I would not be surprised to find that behind that false ceiling, the old one remains in all its glory. That’s assuming, of course, that the vandals haven’t got to it yet…

Hello, me and my mom took a treck up there today.. sadly its all fenced off with signs all over the gates saying tresspassers will be … ect and guard dogs beware.. so we both decided not to even try and climb over. you can see how big and beautiful it looks through the gates but thats basicly it. there are a few buildings around it aswell that look just as old so maybe they were part of it aswell, but they were all boarded up and locked . but yes , i would love to go inside and i agree they should do tours.. i did read on a website they are thinking of re-doing it. so i think if they did do tours they would soon mount up enough money to help with the prices… hoped that helpd.
