Alconbury Cold War Avionics Building Tour

Alconbury Weald is rich in military heritage and offers an abundance of stories spanning its time as an RAF airbase. Several historic landmarks remain on the site and Urban&Civic has worked on their retention and conservation, integrating them into the newly created mixed-use development.
Take a tour around the unique Cold-War-era military bunker which was designed to survive chemical and biological attack. The Grade II building was completed in 1989 and it was one of the largest in the UK. Built to process intelligence data collected by the TR1 reconnaissance aircraft, it is one of the UK’s most sophisticated buildings of its kind.
Please note the bunker is not fully accessible, with uneven surfaces and steps. Please note whilst children are allowed, they must be with a responsible adult at all times. Tours last approximately 1 hour. For more information on accessibility please email aW5mbyB8IGFsY29uYnVyeS13ZWFsZCAhIGNvICEgdWs=.
