Go straight across this and continue along what is now a track. Please take care as visitors walk from the exit of the Bunker back to the car park via this route.

The entrance is overhung with vegetation, enter and proceed along the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel there is a steel door set into the main wall, go through and keep to the left. Pass through the swing doors and take the next left hand turning and go into the Bunker's canteen.
