Story · Tyneham

  • en
  • nl

You're standing in Tyneham, a village where nobody has lived since 1943. Have a look around. Empty houses, crumbling walls, and in the middle of it all a church that's still almost completely intact. The village sits tucked away in a quiet valley between two ridges of the Purbeck Hills, just inland from Worbarrow Bay on the Jurassic Coast.
