Explore abandoned places in the UK. From forgotten castles to eerie hospitals, find the perfect location for your next film, photo shoot or ghost adventure.
I'm super excited to share Forgotten Atlas — a crowdsourced directory of abandoned, historic, and haunted places across the UK. Think of it like "Atlas Obscura meets urban exploration," designed for anyone who loves forgotten spaces, offbeat travel, or eerie adventures.
🔍 It’s fully SEO-optimised around the phrase “abandoned places near me”, and we’ve built it to scale fast — with user submissions, curated locations, and a clean WordPress stack that’s lightning fast.
🏗️ Built in under two weeks as part of the Startum Project toolkit, it was a fun challenge in rapid prototyping, directory structure, and content automation.
💡 We're already getting organic traffic, and this is just the beginning. Would love your thoughts, feedback, or even submissions if you know of hidden gems near you!
🌍 Explore it here: https://forgottenatlas.com
P.S. Happy to share the stack, SEO tactics, or monetisation plans with anyone interested in building their own niche directory 👇
