sure, there's actually loads, im still finding some since many are overgrown or half buried.

I haven't worked out their significance. Though me and some friends (Including Gandhi who posted above) reckon they were used in ww2 as a position to continue a guerilla war, should england have fallen to the Nazis.

Last photo for now, not exactly a bunker. Its an old Victorian folly (not a genuine castle), I've had some good times there.

Note: the weather <_< :P

No Dave you reckon they were for that, I reckon they were they were there to guard of that fucking great big valley they they overlook, just incase the Nazis sent paratroopers.

The Nazis did the same to valleys in occupied France, Belgium and Switzerland, not to mention Germany

Switzerland was never occupied in WWII&#33; come on, stop being silly <_< <_< and the reason that it was never occupied is cause that&#39;s where all the money was&#33;&#33;&#33;
