Old Barn in Rape Seed Field (HDR) 13 by PaulMale42, on Flickr
Been a while but I forgot how much I like black and white photos
Abandoned Rowing Boat by Forsyth1987, on Flickr
On the Millennium trail behind Kenilworth Castle perhaps? If so, not so much abandoned, as a symbol of the days when the Great Mere was flooded, and the Castle gentry went by boat out to the Pleasance for an evening disco!
Close but no cigar. This was part of the elephant enclosure in Twycross zoo. I don't think it was meant to be left to get into this state but it now has no bottom and is rotting away in various places.
I do like Kenilworth Castle and go there a fair bit as I have EH membership but I haven't walked the Millennium trail yet. Is it a good walk?
It's a nice gentle stroll, half an hour or so. Go through the style near the main car park, straight through two fields, right down a farm track through two fields (the boat is at the end of the second, you'll see it looks quite similar!), then you're in the field with the Pleasance, various moats etc still visible. Right through a sunken lane, comes up onto unpaved Purlieu Lane, coming out the other side of the Castle, by the Green, Q&C etc. Couple of bits are quite muddy now, near the gates. If you go the other way round in late sunshine, you get nice light on the Castle as you approach it.
This is a pretty terrible shot, but the only one I could find in a few minutes (reminder to self: tag your images better!)...
