In And Around 1066 Country

     Smuggling was widespread over 200 years ago and a countless number of people were involved in this illegal trade. Avoiding the customs men was a dangerous game.

     The labyrinth of tunnels and caverns that run under the West Hill provided them with the ideal place to hide their ill-gotten gains.

     Over the years these caves were extended, and during the second world war were used by a large number of people as an air raid shelter. Many more or less lived there setting up beds for the long nights. It became quite a close community as several talented people entertained with accordian, drums etc., they even had their own kind policeman (George) on hand.

     Nowadays these caves are open to the public as The Smugglers Adventure with life-size figures of smugglers and its interactive zone. This is sure to give all the family a thrill.
