Description
Fan Bay Deep Shelter is a tunnel complex constructed in 1940/41 as accommodation for the gun battery above and today this network of abandoned tunnels is virtually all that remains of these long-forgotten defences. The tunnel tour also includes a chance to see two sound mirrors, First World War early acoustic warning devices.
