A little bit like the feeling of euphoria when John Book punched the loudmouth harrassing his Amish friends in the movie Witness. It is sad to see how not intact the villagers' houses are, bearing in mind Tyneham was an inhabited place not so long ago.
Tyneham and Worbarrow Bay are probably best seen out of season, when the tourist explosion has abated and not when we went, surrounded by people. Dogs are not excluded, but no bins are provided for the things dogs sadly do best and at the wrong moments. Want to take a pee or worse while you visit? Prepare to join a long, long queue of people of similar mindset at Tyneham's busiest times. Overall, Tyneham is well worth a visit, but unless you like your solitude and introspection accompanied by a couple of hundred new friends, go there when they don't!
Tyneham is in the Lulworth MOD ranges and is a lovely peaceful place. Children now play amongst the ruins of the abandoned homes and aside from their banter, and that of visitors cars arriving - there is virtually no noise. I left reflecting on how the villagers and the landowner accepted the sacrifice of losing their homes so that thousands of allied soldiers would be prepared for D Day so that we can now enjoy our lives in freedom.
James Bond aficionados will be pleased to know that the Bond family lived here for over years - their family motto- "the world is not enough" is preserved in the church, which, thankfully, has lain untouched and intact.
We visit as often as we can get. I have to say that the previous reviewer has completely missed the point. Tyneham is an example of what happens during wartime, when the m.
It is open only at certain times because it is still an active military training area. Public were allowed limited access only I believe, after lot of pressure for the m.
Providing an attraction for the public is not the army's priority. You go there to pay tribute, in a way, to all those villagers who willingly gave up a life and homes they had known for generations and to think about how many paid the price in different ways. It is in the most beautiful setting imaginable which makes the plight of Tyneham even more poignant. Villagers and their relations come back to look at their old homes, tend family graves the church is a wealth of information and to be laid to rest here.
It's a place of quiet beauty and contemplation. I don't know what ''paintbox.? Reading through the history seeing the remains of the buildings Ladt residents left in so churchill could use it as a intelligence centre for D day if you like.
I was absolutely taken back looking at this wonderful site while i tried to imagine what it must of been like Ithink it has something magical about it My personal opinion its a must see.
Quite an eery feeling in this deserted village. My wife and I popped into this deserted village which was commandeered by the MOD many years ago. As we were on a tight schedule we did not go down to the beech and just looked around the village buildings.
As we walked around we tried to imagine what it was like when it was populated. It was always a small village so we thought everybody would know everybody - a tight knit community.
Well worth a visit. David G London, UK contributions. Such an emotional place to visit, its history in regard to treachery by the "powers that be" to Villagers is beyond belief.
Moved beyond tears by the fate of this once beautiful Village. Matt Sheard 1 contribution. The magic atmosphere of Tynham is marred by the restriction of access. It's some years since I've visited Tynham. The poignant atmosphere remains but the orange plastic mesh barriers which block access to the houses and much of the site spoiled the experience.
Tynham village is a unique surviving Victorian village, without any modern development. Apart from the aesthetic experience of the ruins it allows visitors to imagine the realities of rural working people's lives a century ago. The size of the family dwellings, not much bigger than a modern garage, is chastening. In this Tynham offers extraordinary opportunities for educators and is a valuable part of our social history.
The current restrictions to access highlight the lack of care which the MOD are giving the site. But, why should we expect an organisation whose prime concern is the defence of the nation to preserve it's national heritage? Tynham needs a body which can work with the MOD to take charge of its preservation, improve access for the disabled and ensure that it remains a memorial to those who were forced to leave it in Showing results of You can get to Tyneham by Bus or Train.
