Lydden Spout Battery Deep Level Shelter
[One from the archives]
Dover is a town steeped in history. A historical port, and point of defence, as well as a vital link point to the continent.
This site is a little bit special and probably the least visited shelter in Dover, the shelter entrance is located half way down one of Dover's famous white cliffs.
Initially, we wern't certain of the exact location of the entrance, and to descend the cliff we had to rig an abseil. I dutifully scrambled down and up the cliff, searching for the entrance. In true style, the third spot we chose, we struck lucky. I shouted to Patch to follow, and down he came.
Now off the rope, we started the crawl into the shelter. The roof at the entrance is held up by large twigs and railway sleepers which look like they would crumble to dust if you looked at them in the wrong way. Being extra careful, we crawled and slithered through the narrow gaps offered, there had obviously been a cave in at some point in the past and the space we had to play with was minimal. After about 20m, we were able to stand in an unlined tunnel, with a split into two passages, forming a lined shelter. In we went.
