I have visited these tunnels many times over the years. First time was back in the late 80's, up to this weekend when i shot a walk through video on my visit.
The site is more well known these days for the lavish hotel and golf course there, and the British Masters Tornament that was hosted there last month.
The site has a lot of history. Best to read up on that here :- The Grove Story - Project X
The main air raid shelters built there in 1939 still remain, despite other bunkers and surface buildings disappearing in the 90's when the site was redeveloped.
A nice set of tunnels, although they can get a bit repetetive. You can still find old wartime relics in there from back in the day. Some wooden benches remain, but are mostly smashed up. Old toilet seats, buckets, oil cans, wheels and other assorted junk. There always seems to be a good colony of European Cave Spiders living there too !

Thanks for the vibes / feedback chaps. Appreciated.
If you're in the area or passing, it's certainly worth the visit. Not sure if it's worth the trek alone though !
