An urban explorer has shared eerie footage of the abandoned funfair he discovered in South Wales – with an estimated 60 rides left to rot.

Daniel Sims visited the “creepy” site, where he found old rides with seats still intact, which he says were reminiscent of those around in the 90s and 00s.

It is unclear how long the fair has been abandoned for, but the rides are rumoured to have come from nearby amusement parks.

“The atmosphere was amazing,” 36-year-old Daniel, from Huddersfield, UK, told What’s The Jam.

“As soon as we realised everything was left, we were thrilled and excited to see what was left behind.

“There were easily a good 50-60 kids’ rides, and the remains of probably four major rides.

“One was still really intact, and there were plenty of arcade machines there, too.

“As we entered the site, we were met with a massive octopus waltzer ride still intact with the seats, and many childhood kids’ rides that would hold memories for lots of people, especially those who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s.

“We saw Barney on a train, a Winnie the Pooh kids ride, and various other ones as soon as we entered.

“Moving towards the side of the site was a treasure trove of rides, some sort of ghost trains, and various claw and penny machines, which would all be worth quite a bit of money.”

Daniel, who shared the footage on YouTube, where he goes by the moniker Bearded Reality, also found a “partially collapsed” ride towards the back of the site, surrounded by arcade machines.

He added: “In the middle of the site were even more machines and rides, Garfield, Banana in Pyjamas, Mickey and Minnie rides, and what seemed like the remains of an old small Ferris wheel, which was cool to see.

“The back of the site had a massive caravan that maybe the old owner used to sleep in.

“We saw American dodgems and truck rides.

“We also found a strange ride or accessory, which was patented like a very interesting wheel.”

Daniel doesn’t know how long the site has been abandoned, but said it “seems to have been a while” due to there being a lot of rust and some damage to the rides.

He added of the adventure: “I love taking photos of dramatic places such as this, and showing how these places were once filled with people enjoying their everyday lives.

“The place is a bit creepy with it just being left, but the actual exploration itself was very relaxing and chilled, and we spent a few hours exploring.”
