The video, posted by Jacob Myers on TikTok, has been viewed by more than 1.4 million people and shows him exploring the disused site in Mineshead, Somerset
An urban explorer has shared footage of an abandoned Butlin’s swimming pool on TikTok, which has been viewed by over 1.4 million people. The short clip reveals his exploration of the eerie disused site in Minehead, which hasn’t been used since 1997.
Despite its abandonment, many of the pools and slides still remain intact and full of water. Jacob Myers ventures through the spooky leisure centre, capturing the murky pool water and indicating where the slides and lazy river once were.
He also points out the locations of the former café and souvenir shop, reminiscing about his childhood visits. The video shows stacked chairs and tables in the café area, along with an old yellow slide.
Pontins holiday park left abandoned and ‘frozen in time’ with rooms left completely untouched
After showcasing the café, Jacob enters a side room, which he believes was “must have been an old club of some sort”. The dilapidated room is mostly empty, save for some scattered debris, reports Lincolnshire Live.
Recently, one family’s trip to Butlin’s ended as a “nightmare”, with the unhappy customers claiming that they made a string of unpleasant of discoveries.
Tiffany Martin from Strelley was left aghast during her recent trip to Butlin’s in Skegness. The mum claimed that she found blood on the mattress and encountered leftover beer bottles outside following an adults’ “big weekender” event.
Having booked their four-night break for just over £90, Tiffany, her partner, and children were keen for some quality time together, expecting the high standards they’d experienced over their 17-year history of visits to the resort.
The horror began almost immediately upon arrival, with Tiffany claiming that she found beer bottles with Budweiser, disposable vapes, and even a rogue pair of handcuffs scattered around their accommodation—relics from the previous weekend’s adult festivities that remained unattended days into her stay.
“Obviously they had had an adults’ weekend the weekend before and there were bottles with Budweiser, some still with beer in, right outside of the apartment and no one came to pick it up despite me telling them it was there,” Tiffany told Lincolnshire Live.
Her dissatisfaction grew when entering their supposedly ready room, only to be greeted by untucked beds—a surprise giving the typically impeccable preparations she had become accustomed to.
Tiffany was shocked to find coffee splattered down her fridge front and uncleaned dishes in the dishwasher upon inspecting her holiday apartment. One of her children discovered a “soaking wet” bed, which cleaning staff agreed to replace.
However, Tiffany noted stains on other mattresses too. The holidaymaker, aged 43, lamented: “It’s not what you want when you go away for a family holiday.”
