In todays episode, we venture into the English countryside to find a hand built stone castle that looks like something out of a fairytale.
One mans fantasy build began in 1989, eleven years in the making, now sits deserted and apparently never quite completed.
Built from salvaged bits of stone from the surrounding area, he intended to create his animals a home but ended up with something rather special... it is now known as the Hobbit House.
This right hand side of the building has some beautiful details, from stained glass windows featuring the seasons and elements, sculptured walls, a stone armchair and spiral staircase, this small but spacious room feels especially cosy.
This hidden gem is something we wont soon forget, it really is a magical experience, hats off to the man who created this enchanted cottage.
Check out Dark Arts TV to see this place after nightfall and discover if anything or anyone remains here.
Huge thanks to Matt, The Secret Vault for his top notch drone footage.

I take it you guys have looked up the older images on the story? Built by an old sheep farmer and artist it's all hand made even the windows but he sold up the land to move to Scotland due to a quarry opening up next door and disturbing his peace. Great work and a lovely explore, I couldn't believe my eyes!!

Amazing that this person probably worked on that till they weren't capable of doing so any longer. I could imagine and elderly man standing up in that loft lit by candles meticulously placing the perfect stones, just at the correct angles to create what to me is one of the most unique structures I've ever seen someone build. ALSO: Just a heads up, the tone of your voice along with the volume of the music made it a little difficult to hear what you're saying. Thank you for sharing this piece of history with us! Safe travels =)

It's something we could all see ourselves building when we were children......but I should think since this is in the UK that the local building codes do NOT allow for this to be lived in ! Sad - that's what happens when you have regulations about such things....well meaning, but totally squashing creativity ! It's very pretty !

Not sure why everyone is assuming it was done by one man. In days gone by entire families and extended families worked on a project like this. Definitely unusual.

I saw a video on this place around 3 years ago, the guys were afraid of being caught because someone started mowing around the property. I was so enchanted by this place. The story they told was a father built this place for his daughter, and something tragic happened to her. That is why it was never finished. It seems to me vandals have been there in the past 3 years that is for sure. Thank you for making this video available and showing us how it is still doing!
