We were delighted to be able to reopen our gates again following the Covid-19 Lockdown. We were desperate to once again welcome visitors back on tours of the Tunnels. So since reopening we have been running scaled down Covid safe tours, our priority being to keep our visitors and volunteers safe. What a good feeling it is to once again be showing visitors around Joseph Williamson’s Subterranean world.

As well as our normal tours, we took part in the excellent Heritage Open Days 2020 and once again, this year’s HOD’s proved a great success. During the Heritage Open days 2020 we had 86 visitors and as a result of these tours, we were very grateful to receive 13 very good 4 and 5 star reviews on Tripadvisor.

This leads on to the lovely news that with thanks to all our visitors that have left reviews following their tour of the Tunnels with FoWT, we have been awarded a “Travelers Choice Award 2020”. This is fantastic news, which would not have been possible without you. Thank you all…

What does this award mean?
