Hi I think hell will freeze over first before the staff at Welbeck will allow you to wonder off the footpath and into the tunnels, but good luck all the same. Some are crumbling and quite dangerous. I've been down most and didn't realize until later that they were off limits. Welbeck staff patrol round the estate with gamekeepers shotgun n all so not a place to start wondering around without consequences if discovered. I can tell you there is no tunnel leading off the estate to Worksop. The nearest tunnel to Worksop is next to Tunnel End Lodge, I think it's called, opposite South Lodge on the

Hi I was working late so never got chance to go to the Bell Inn, which is a shame really. Would have been great to meet everyone and share a few tales about the tunnels at welbeck and other tunnels in the area.

Hi all go to http://www.bing.com/maps/ and click on the OS or the birds eye views to see Welbeck Abbey. Google maps or Google Earth too. The tunnels are clearly visible. They are hidden from site on ground level but only by a few yards if you know where to look. Big enough for a horse and carriage, if you happen to have one lol. http://location-coll...il.html?id=4649 http://location-coll...SearchText=4648 If anyone is interested I may be visiting the estate this weekend. I know this is short notice but I'm not working so have to grab what free time I have plus I live just down the road. I

Cool, I'll see if I can make it and get back to you.

Is this a regular meeting you have and is Market Square in Nottingham?

PM me if anyones up for a tunnel day soon.

Amazing, how did you record this?

12 feet, sorry lol

I personally would like to photograph/video the tunnels in the interests of history but don't have the necessary equipment or skills at the moment, so any volunteers are welcome, and also get involved in any future plans to restore them. I would be interested to know if the estate could apply for a grant for the restoration of the estate and tunnel system. Some of the old buildings have already been converted for commercial use, such as the riding school which is used by Award Publications, by the Welbeck Project (www.welbeckproject.com). At some point the tunnel I have been down will either n

I stick to footpaths so I don't trespass but from there you can see quite away around the estate. The security are usually only interested in people walking on the estate and grounds around the main house. The tunnels extend quite away out and into wooded areas. I popped into a wood just a few yards in from the footpath to take a leak and nearly fell off the top of a tunnel entrance into a 12" high cutting. There are a few large cuttings that are not part of the tunnel system on the estate in the wooded areas so its best to stick to the footpaths really. These open cuttings used to form an ope

Went down tonight. Very misty down the tunnels as it was raining a little. Foggy and dark, very creepy. Had to go after work tonight as only time possible. Too dark to take a video but some of the pics from my phone just about came out. Deff need a good quality camera or video camera with a good flash and a bright light to light up the tunnels fully. Would love to take a video of the tunnels as they won't be open for ever and they won't last for ever, a few big cracks in the roof can clearly be seen. I used a Duracell Daylite which is only just ample to see where to go but not good enough for

Ok mate, no problem.

Hi all Planning to go and have a look this weekend. Get in touch anyone who's interested.

Hi MickyT123 Are you planning any of your tours in the coming weeks?

Hi All I went down some of the tunnels a couple of weeks ago and I'm planning on another trip soon. I would be very interested in any tours that you may be planning in the near future. I've been on the estate many times over the last couple of years but not managed to find the semi-submerged greenhouse although I have an idea where to look. There are a few more areas of interest on the estate that I would like to explore further one day too and any first-hand knowledge I can get would be very useful indeed. I have recently found some web site links with photos of the estate for anyone who is
