This is what Camelot Theme Park looks like now - 2 months after demolition began

New drone pictures reveal what Camelot looks like now - two months after demolition work began on the abandoned theme park.

Bulldozers and diggers moved onto the site in December and workers have been busy tearing the park apart, with many of its Medieval-themed buildings reduced to rubble.

The once-thriving theme park, based on the story of Camelot, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, closed in November 2012.

For 8 years it stood abandoned, attracting 'urban explorers' who would venture into the grounds to explore its crumbling buildings and derelict rides.

But new drone pictures taken on Tuesday (February 2) show the swift progress of demolition work on the 140-acre site, where thousands of families used to enjoy a day out in its bustling medieval-themed grounds.
