The craftsmanship is something else! Just look at the detail in the woodwork. The ornate carved balustrade, intricate patterns, decorative columns and beautifully shaped timberwork are incredibly elaborate. This wasn’t something knocked together quickly — it would have taken highly skilled craftsmen a huge amount of time, patience and precision to create.

*PERMISSION VISIT* this incredible building is now being redeveloped 😍 Highmead has a history that stretches back far beyond its days as an abandoned school. The building was originally constructed in 1777 as a Georgian country mansion by Herbert Evans, on land belonging to his mother, Elizabeth Lloyd. The Highmead estate was once substantial, covering thousands of acres across Cardiganshire, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. Then, almost 180 years later, the building entered a completely different chapter. In 1956, Highmead was converted into a residential school, becoming known as Highmead School which provided education and accommodation for children with additional needs,. The school continued for several decades before eventually closing in the 1990s. The building later became associated with the European Institute of Human Sciences, an Islamic educational institution, before that use also came to an end.
From 18th century country mansion, to residential school, to educational institute and finally a derelict relic of Welsh history.

This 1700’s mansion in Wales has so much history it’s insane! It’s incredibly beautiful inside and out, I’d love to wake up every morning with this view 😍 I’m so glad this building is getting the love it deserves now and is being redeveloped ♥️ just a reminder that not everything I post is abandoned, I just love history and exploring.

🏚️ A glimpse into the past…

Inside this incredible 18th-century Grade II listed building, this forgotten corner immediately caught my attention.

An old worn armchair sitting beside the original fireplace, with an antique rocking horse still tucked away in the corner. The layers of dust and age make it feel like time simply stopped here decades ago.

It’s these little details that make historic buildings so fascinating — ordinary objects that once belonged to everyday life, now quietly telling their own story. 🖤

Wonder how many memories were made here on nights out?! Or even how many ‘what happened last night?!’

🏚️ DINAS NODDFA — 1852 ⛪

Stepping into Dinas Noddfa, a church erected way back in 1852, feels like stepping into a piece of Welsh history frozen in time.

Built during the Victorian era, this place has stood for well over 170 years, witnessing generations of worshippers, countless services, celebrations, funerals and everyday moments within its walls.

Inside, the years of neglect are impossible to miss. Ivy and vegetation have pushed their way through the building, creeping across the walls and around the beautiful stained-glass windows. What was once carefully maintained is now being taken back by nature.

But one of the most fascinating finds was a page of the old Welsh Bible, still sitting inside. Written in Welsh and featuring the Psalms, this incredible piece of history gives a small glimpse into the people who once worshipped here. Holding something so old, surrounded by a building erected in 1852, really makes you stop and think about how much history these walls have witnessed.

Places like this are exactly why I love Urbex. We aren’t just exploring abandoned buildings… we’re documenting what time hasn’t completely erased.
