Secret Nuclear Bunker

In August we made what has to be one of the highlight trips of the year. We visited the secret nuclear bunker at Kelvedon Hatch in Essex. Love the URL: http://www.secretnuclearbunker.com/


This is the place where they were going to govern Britain if there was a nuclear war. It was built in the 1950s, in a huge bunker underneath a farm in a top top secret location, and not decommissioned until the 1990s. Inside it is a weird mix of very serious life-support systems, broadcast centre, military style dormitories, and what feels like a 1970s office building.


Half of the fun was getting there: following the large 'Secret Nuclear Bunker' roadsigns through Essex!
