Fremington Army Camp, nr Barnstaple, Devon :: August 2011

The last day of our Dorset & Devon camping trip took us to North Devon. A disused army camp in Fremington which is laid derelict and awaiting its fate.

The camp, although abandoned, has a sense of feeling that it could quite easily be used again at the drop of a hat. Hardly any damage has taken place, nor has Mother Nature really taken hold.

Nearly all the buildings on site are locked up tight, either under lock & key, or simply screwed shut! Luckily we found a couple which weren’t and the contents were fairly interesting. A theatre/stage set up which had been converted into a gym, lockers with a few personal items still remaining & a postal sorting room.

A rather basic, although very demanding-looking obstacle course remains, we were good boys and resisted a go!
