Wild Ruins

Wild Ruins Kickstarter Campaign

Over the next six months Dave Hamilton is searching the UK to put together a unique guide to the most hidden and romantic ruins of Britain. From ruined mines, churches, ironworks and deserted villages to abandoned farm houses, hunting lodges, manor houses and even airbases the book will cover the most diverse range of ruins possible.

Without a book such as this, much of our history will remain uncharted, unloved and unvisited.  It also encourages travel within the UK, helping with local economies and hopefully cutting much of the carbon emissions associated with long haul flights.

Visiting and photographing anything between 150 and 280 of these buildings, traveling the length and breadth of the UK doesn’t come cheap – even in Dave’s little fuel efficient car! On top of this he will need navigation equipment, photographic equipment, pay for places to stay and of course pay for his time whilst embarking on the project (the bills don’t pay themselves!).

This is where you come in by backing Dave’s kickstarter project.

There are rewards for all backers including; signed prints from the book, signed 1^st editions of the book, a personalised wild food walk and even the chance to have the book dedicated to you.
