One truly great explore and something not a lot of people get too see as its been sealed for a good few years. a big place and spent a few hours down their, loved all the old graffiti and history of the place and im also pleased it got sealed back up before anyone got in too wreck it and ruin anything.

pictures aren't the best as i think i was a bit excited but it gives you the general idea :).

bit of history:

Esplanade Level was the name given to the proposed conversion of the Trevanion Caves, chapel caves and Athol Terrace Caves and is the lowest level below dover castle, there is reportedly another level below this (foundation level) but this has yet to be proven. before the war The 1,600ft long Guilford Tunnel was dug to connect the three systems together to be used as air raid protection.

thanks for looking.

Lol thanks for the comments.

I love the bus, managed to visit once before the crowds came and once when the tour bus was in town.

I know which one I preferred ;-).
