Brackla Munitions Factory & Nuclear Bunkers | RGHQ

In this Vlog, I set out to discover Brackla RGHQ. This site on the hillside of Bridgend has its origins in an extensive pre-war ordnance factory, most of which is now an industrial estate.

At some time after the 1960s, two of the tunnels were taken over by the Home Office and converted to become SRHQ 8.2 and later RGHQ 8.2. In the absence of a bunker for North Wales, Brackla covered the whole of Wales in the event of a Nuclear attack.

The site was extensively re-fitted in the early 1980s. The accommodation comprised two adjacent tunnels, each consisting of two parallel passageways 8ft wide and 250ft long, lined with metal sections like the London tube tunnels. The site was sold in 1995 and is still used to this today while much of the Magazine Tunnels are now abandoned and flooded.
