We checked on the government website the opening times for Tyneham and decided to visit. What an interesting place, plenty of information boards explaining about the buildings and who loved there. There is an honesty box for parking at £4 or you can pay on the just park app. Lovely place to visit.

I have been visiting this site since I was a child. It is sad to see how much it has changed in the last 20 years… The lack of upkeep at Tyneham is concerning. I understand the need for some fencing however the lack of management of the grass, brambles and ivy results in it beginning to takeover the appearance of the buildings. This is a worry as how much will be there in future years? There is so much to learn here and a small clean up could help to keep these structures and allow visitors to see into the homes from a distance. It wouldn’t cost a lot for Landmarc to have someone keep it tidy

This is somewhere my husband really wanted to see so we were happy to discover it was only a few miles from where we were staying. Well worth a visit. Really interesting and we loved the little church which is beautifully kept. The school house was also a must-see. And the car park accepts donations rather than making you pay through the nose so we were able to donate online and understood that our donation would go towards the further upkeep and plans for the village. It'd maybe be nice if they did something about the little pond which badly needs cleaning up/de-weeding but it didn't spoil our visit. What a little gem

When you visit Tyneham, it is like you are stepping back in time to the 1940s as it has pretty much remained the same since its requisitioning by the Ministry of Defence in 1943 in preparation for the D-Day landings. It is rather interesting reading about the story of the village's buildings and the people who were displaced by the MoD. The church is a highlight thanks to how well preserved it is, and I would recommend it to anyone in the area.
