Baiscally don't go and spend your money on something you'll enjoy. Extremely interesting that this place actually existed and a couple of really friendly volunteers were present to tell us about it however the lady at the tills couldn't have been more rude and ignorant if she tried. Told me to be quiet when she was talking to my sister in law about entrance fees but if she'd actually listened instead of being grumpy she'd have learned I still owed 2 people's entrance fee. If they check the cctv they'll see the shock on my face at being spoken to like that. I wanted to walk out but didn't want to spoil the day for my family who thought she was bloody rude too.

A wonderfully preserved piece of history and infrastructure that needs to be kept as a reminder to future generations. Enter the small guardhouse disguised as a 1950s Chapel and descend the long corridor into the hill behind. Encased in 3m thick reinforced concrete is a former RAF Radar bunker, hastily constructed in the early 1950s and updated in the 1980s to serve as a place where a handful of people could take on the unenviable task of working out what's left should the cold war ever have gotten hot. Spread over two floors the bunker has been carefully recreated by a team of volunteers, some of whom served in the bunker prior to its decommissioning in the early 21st century. During the open days, like the one today, these dedicated people will guide you through the workings of the facility and explain in detail the exhibits within. An amazing and sobering experience that all generations will find quite...
