Exploring abandoned places, hidden history, and underground worlds.
I document the forgotten side of Britain — derelict buildings, sealed tunnels, WW2 bunkers, Cold War relics, and hard-to-reach locations most people never see. From crawling through tight access points to navigating vast underground networks, every explore is about uncovering what’s been left behind.
This channel is dedicated to real urban exploration — no fluff, just raw access, hidden entrances, and the stories buried beneath the surface.
🌍 What you’ll find here:
• Military & Historical Locations
WW2, Cold War, and forgotten defensive sites with real history.
• Underground Exploration
Tunnels, bunkers, drains, and confined spaces deep below ground.
If you’re into urbex, hidden places, and exploring the inaccessible — subscribe and come underground.

Hi Guys,
No video this week but am back next week.
A quick update for the channel:-
Firstly, a huge "Thank You". They say if you can get paid doing your hobby, you'll never have to work a day! I'm not quite there yet but it's been my dream to be able to earn an income from doing what I love and, thanks to you, I am getting there.
Every week for the last 18 months, without fail, I've uploaded a video (I've since removed some of the earlier ones as they were 'off topic' for what I do now). However, I've always realised this wasn't sustainable in the long term (and I'm in this for the long term!).
I want to spread my net further afield and do explores across the entire UK and beyond. I've already got an overseas trip planned for next month and really looking forward to filming this and showing you the results.
I've also noticed that some videos need longer to 'breathe' - they start off slowly, then build momentum after a few days and continue doing so. Often uploading a new video can slow this growth down.
For these reasons, from now on, I've decided to upload videos on a fortnightly, rather than a weekly basis. This will ensure I can cover these wider locations, and means I can continue to develop the channel over the weeks, months and years to come.
I've also added a BuyMeACoffee link to the video descriptions; absolutely no pressure but if you're in a position to, and would like to help further support the channel, you can do so here: buymeacoffee.com/carlzs
However you've supported the channel; be it via BMAC, by viewing, liking, commenting and/or subscribing, your support is so very much appreciated. I absolutely love bringing these explores to you and thank you so very much for giving me the chance to do this.

Guys,
A mahoosive "Thank You" to you all !!!! The channel has now reached 3,000 subscribers!
I absolutely love doing these explores and making these videos and am so grateful for all your support. I've received some amazing comments and count myself extremely lucky to be in such a fortunate position.
There'll be a new video out on Wednesday @ 18:30 GMT - this time I'm visiting a massive set of air raid tunnels hidden in woodland near an exclusive golf course. I get lost in them and also see an animal inside that I'd never seen before!
Thank you once again and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Hi All,
Hope you're having a great Sunday. It's been another good week here with a few more explores done - videos for them will follow in the weeks to come.
A bit of a different post this week. Tomorrow is the second anniversary of an event that I'll never, ever forget.
With the parent's permission, I did a video about it a year ago, which I'd urge you to watch and consider.
Thanks so much
xx

Hi All,
Hope you're enjoying your weekend.
A couple of days ago I did an explore which I really enjoyed. Needed to get the waders out as the tunnels were flooded but found some amazing graffiti dating back well over 100 years.
The video will be out on Weds @ 18:30GMT - hope you enjoy watching

Hi All,
Happy Sunday! Hope you have a great day.
I've had a pretty easy week this week and not done any new explores. But, I have several weeks of videos queued up so there'll still be a new one each week.
Sometimes life gets in the way a bit. But I've already got more planned for next week.
In the meantime, many thanks for all your comments and views on the latest video. I really enjoyed exploring this place in Kent, UK but was also quite pleased to get out as the roof did look very sketchy at times!

Happy Sunday! I hope your week has gone well.
It's been a busy one here and I've done a few explores.
I did mention last week that I was going to try something different - I did, but I wasn't happy with the end result so will shelve that idea for the time being!
Meantime the video I did a couple of weeks ago is still proving popular and is over 30,000 views. Last week's video also doing really well.
Thanks so much to all of you for your ongoing support - I really appreciate it 👍

Hi guys,
Hope you're having a great weekend.
I'm currently away doing a bit of caving and stuff which I'm really enjoying.
And next week I'm planning an explore with a bit of a difference. I'll see how things work out and keep you posted.
Thanks so much for all the views, likes and comments on my latest video. I really enjoyed doing this one and it's a bunker that few people have seen.
It's a little longer than most of my other videos but I wanted to try and convey the scale of the place - it's massive!!

Thanks so much for all your support - I really appreciate it 👍👍

Happy Sunday! Hope you're having a great weekend.
Wow, what a week. I managed to get out and do a couple of amazing explores. My current video is the first one, where I need to use a rope to descend into an old WW2 Deep Shelter.
The second explore is next week's video and one you won't want to miss! It's an explore I've wanted to do for ages and is the biggest bunker I've ever been in. Very few people have been inside and there's some great stuff left behind.
That video will be published on Weds @ 18:30 GMT
Many thanks to everyone for all your likes, comments and subscribes, and if there's a location you'd like me to explore for a future video, drop a note in the comments.

Hope you're having a great weekend.
I've got a couple of explores planned this week which I look forward to bringing you soon.
This week's video had me exploring part of Dover's Western Heights; a huge fort with a massive shooting gallery.
Access was a little tight and getting in, and particularly out, was interesting 😆😆
