TikTok Hiker Highlights Eerie 'Bus Graveyard' at Abandoned Powys Coach Yard

Asbestos warnings at the derelict, privately owned yard make visiting hazardous.

Overview

  • A TikTok creator known as the Welsh Hiker recently posted photos after a brief visit to the former Browns Coaches yard in Powys.
  • The disused site sits off the A483 between Garth and Cilmery near Builth Wells and contains numerous derelict coaches described as a 'bus graveyard.'
  • Signs reading 'Danger: Asbestos' are displayed throughout the property, contributing to safety risks reported by visitors.
  • Dyfed Powys Police said in July 2020 that officers would patrol the area after damage reports, and 2024 coverage recorded owner and resident concerns over trespass.
  • Reports note smashed windows, rotting vehicles and even keys left in some coaches, and the public is urged not to enter without permission.
