Drakelow Tunnels - A unique underground experience.

From WWII factory and store to
Top Secret, Cold War nuclear bunker.
A history of the modern war era in one visit!

HFM have been appointed as booking agents for visits to this fascinating underground complex.

Starting life as a WWII aircraft factory and depot, the tunnels - in the Staffordshire countryside, near Wolverhampton - still contain many artefacts from a long and distinguished history. Their abandoned condition emphasises the passage of the years and highlights the historic changes which took place above ground while hundreds of workers performed their subterranean duties.

In later years the Cold War took its grip and the tunnels were refitted as a refuge and command centre, as a safeguard against the threat from a former ally, now a potential enemy.

Shrouded in secrecy until as recently as 1993, the Tunnels complex is open to visitors on a strictly limited basis. Guided tours are in pre-booked parties at £7.50 adults, £5.00 children. Please email us for details of forthcoming tours, indicating how many are expected in your group.
