Ramsgate Tunnels - (Near , South East)

5 /5 Andrew Thomas: Extensive network of underground tunnels cut into Ramsgates chalk cliffs in 1939 in precaution for air raids, which you can visit today as part of a guided tour. Tours run every 2 hours and last around 90 minutes. Its advisable to bring warm clothes as youll be underground for the duration. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour engaging and informative. For £10 the tour represents good value, longer than many shorter cave tours Ive taken. The former railway tunnel through which you enter the system is fitted out with "rooms", reflecting the spaces in which people would have lived while sheltering from WW2 bombing raids. At their peak, the tunnels housed over 1,000 people. Theres a large exhibition area that you can look around before or after your tunnels tour, with detailed displays charting the planning, construction and history of the tunnels, and artefacts found in the tunnels. Onsite facilities include a traditional tearoom providing refreshments in the atmospheric tunnel setting, and a gift shop. Theres paid parking very nearby but no onsite toilets. Dogs are permitted in the exhibition area but not in the tunnels.

5 /5 Stephen Richard Boyle: Visited here in May 2025. Worth a visited. You have to have a guided tours through the tunnels, however it was brilliant. The staff member was informative and funny, a lot of interesting history. It has a little café at the entrance with seating. It is cold in the tunnels so make sure you bring suitable clothing.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and kept us engaged throughout with fascinating stories and insider facts collected over the years. If youre in the area, this is definitely worth a visit.

5 /5 Simon Rose: Much better than i expected, really knowledagable and helpful guide, loads of history. Informative exhibits and otjer tours you can do. Book in advance, come early, collectbyour token from your ticket and have a look atbthe exhibits before you start. Google maps locatiion was a bit misleading, take the stairs to the sea level by the roundabout and the entrance is there Floor is eneven but they have a great wheelchair with huge inflatable wheels. Really cool Austrailian surprise at the end too
