Eerie pictures take a look inside abandoned theme park

It was once one of the north's leading tourist attractions, but now lies derelict and abandoned. These eerie pictures show the once bustling Camelot Theme park blighted with graffiti and overgrown with weeds. The remnants of rusting roller coaster riders which once bore screaming children can be seen next to restaurants overgrown with creepers. The King Arthur-inspired park was boarded up in 2012 after being open to the public for 30 years, which owners blamed on bad weather and events like the Olympics. Urban explorer Matthew Holmes, 23, captured the derelict site near Chorley, Lancs, in a series of photos which he posted on Facebook.
