Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker
Recommended by
Overview
Witness the three phases of the bunker's life. From its role with the RAF where the overall tactical controller could react to a nuclear attack from Britain's enemies, through to its role as Regional Government HQ, when there could have been up to 600 personnel, possibly including the Prime Minister, organising the survival of the civilian population in the aftermath of nuclear war. See for yourself the equipment and rooms needed to support the plotting of nuclear fall-out patterns. This is an all-weather, all-age group educational venue. High ropes adventure course on site.
