Abandoned places, forgotten buildings, and time-capsule finds—every week.

Abandoned Places, Frozen in Time

We document the beauty and history of abandoned houses, derelict factories, rural cottages, and time-capsule homes that still contain the stories of the past. Our goal is to preserve these places on film and share them with a community that loves history, architecture, and the thrill of discovery.

About Side Quests Exploring

Side Quests Exploring began with one simple idea: tell the hidden stories of forgotten spaces. We’re a small team of urban exploration fans who film cinematic walk-throughs, show original details, and research the history behind each location. Every explore is approached with safety, respect, and discretion. Where possible, we blur sensitive info and avoid revealing exact locations to help protect sites from vandalism.

We explore one of the nicest abandoned places we have visited with a crazy back story of travellers chop shop, luxury and organised crime! This abandoned place is massive and hidden out the back is the travellers site where we find numerous statics that were once home to the car bandits, handy after a long day of working in the car chop shop! At the front there is a beautiful little abandoned house that, granted has seen been days but is a stunning place with a lot of character for an abandoned location. The police raided this place some time through 2024 and since it has just been sat derelict slowly being reclaimed. You get quite an eerie feeling as you walk around, the feeling of being watched almost but none the less me and Paulio ventured on to uncover some of the things that have been left beind! #abandonedplaces #uk #abandonedhouse #travellerssite #policeraid #carchopshop #abandonedlocations #exploringabandonedplaces #abandonedschool #urbex #urbanexploration #sqe
