Drakelow Tunnels

Drakelow Tunnels were excavated during World War II as an underground shadow factory for Rover engines, then converted to a Cold War Regional Government Headquarters. Three miles of tunnels burrow into a sandstone hillside above the River Severn.

Visitors report shadow figures at tunnel junctions, phantom machinery sounds from the WWII factory areas, and a hostile presence in the deeper galleries that reportedly pushes or grabs investigators. The tunnels' vast dark spaces and military history create an environment that amplifies unease.

The tunnels operate as a heritage and paranormal venue with regular events. Underground temperatures are constant and cool. Bring warm clothing and sturdy footwear. The tunnels are not suitable for those with mobility issues or claustrophobia.
