An interesting place to visit and spent an hour there for £ 10 each . There is parking outside when you turn up then a few minutes walk to the entrance where your greeted then go through to start your tour . A lot of people turned up with woolly hats and I’d say don’t bother bringing them because you have to wear a hard hat in any case . Most of the tour is mainly empty tunnels but now and again there is rooms with old rusty equipment inside which is amazing to see as it’s slowly decaying to maybe an imminent demise. Take a camera and a torch as some tunnels aren’t lit up very well as all lighting is run off a huge diesel generator which you see towards the end . Also recommend wearing boots just in case you tread on something sharp . Guides are very friendly and informative and do ask many times if anyone has any questions. I personally gave the place 3 stars out of five as I would have liked to see more of the old machinery and old stuff that would have been there all them years ago but a lot has been cleared out ,but maybe over time they might place old stuff down there but who knows . Anyway I did enjoy it and I’m glad I went and would recommend anyone taking a visit just to satisfy...

Went there today was a very interesting place to see, they are in the middle of repairing a lot of the place to prepare it for being a museum which i will revist for when its complete. It was a lot bigger than i expected it to be and there was a lot of the original items still there from when it was a cold war bunker. Admission is very reasonably priced and the money will be going towards the upkeep and repairs, theres a lot of work involved to get everything back to how it was originally so hopefully they can manage to pull it off as it will be an amazing place to visit when its all back to its former glory but in the meantime its well worth a visit to help towards the refurbishment costs and just to see the sheer size...

I've been here a couple of times, an official guided tour having to wear helmet, and a more adventurous time on a 'ghost hunting team event' when I whoops accidently wandered off to explore at my leisure. I could've done better with a brighter torch because the huge tunnels & passageways just a mass of darkness that an average torch light isn't adequate. I didn't see or experience anything spooky, I later re-joined ghost hunt team, when in the darkness of a small room, a small stone mysteriously drops on a table half dozen of us were sat around inc the event host,,, sorry guys I'm not...

The cost is a little steep for what it is, however it is an interesting insight into provisions that were made during WWII and the cold war. The guides are knowledgeable and all volunteers so hats off to them, but you can feel that it's not that professional, they do what they can with what they have, most areas are similar and it will be nice if they can recreate and restore some of it to look something like it would have when it was operational. At the moment it's more of a series are similar looking tunnels and some interesting history.

Very interesting WW2 & Cold War history. It was still used as a regional seat of government up to 1993. If you were cover all of the underground site prepare yourself for 3.5 mile walk, although the tour lead by a volunteer covers only 0.5 mile at most. In terms of tunnel size the main ones would comfortably fit a two storey house (with it's roof) and have room to spare. During the cold war the BBC planned to store it's large outside broadcast trucks in the main tunnels given perhaps its close proximity to the BBC bunker near Evesham.

Visited today Saturday 14th January, booked through Eventbrite, run by volunteers who are extremely welcoming & friendly, knowledgeable about the history so please ask questions. About 4 miles of tunnels but only part is available for a tour, bats live in other areas. Built in 1941 as a safe place to build parts for aircraft. In the 60s modifications made to turn it into a nuclear bunker during the cold war. Great place to explore, good value for money, guided tour lasts an hour. Recommended. Sadly no photos allowed inside.
