Top 14 Caves イングランド南東部での

後のビクトリア女王がブロードステアーズを訪れたとき、スネリングは非常に有名で、「有名な密輸業者」として彼女に紹介されました！ 洞窟の入り口は、岩壁の後ろのカーブにあり、アクセスしやすく、少し斜めに登っていきます。 全部で3つの小さな洞窟があり、真珠のネックレスのように並んでいます。 かつては上の出口がありましたが、現在はもうありません。往路が復路でもあります。 個々の洞窟の間には低い通路があります。 少しのほこりや石灰を気にしないのであれば、探検に出かけるのは楽しいでしょう。

A Notorious Smuggler's Favorite Spot Due to its proximity to mainland Europe and its remote, cave-riddled bays, smuggling was a livelihood and a vital economic activity for many people along the Kent coast throughout much of the 18th and 19th centuries. Thanet's smugglers openly carried weapons, defied the authorities, and forced locals to supply them with fodder and fresh horses. During the Battle of Botany Bay, informed tax collectors clashed with the notorious smuggler Joss Snelling and his gang. Machetes, knives, and boat hooks were used in the bloody battle, in which Snelling lost 15 of his men. The danger (or the contraband) must have suited Snelling well. He reached the ripe old age of 96 and in 1830 – at the age of 89 – was fined 100 pounds for smuggling – an enormous sum!

Photography was prohibited at the beginning of the tour, but allowed at the end.

Guided tours by volunteers at the National Trust through these WWII tunnels/bunker. 125 steps down, approx 90 minute tour, only £6. Very factual, learn about the troops who used it, the reason it’s there, and how it was built.

£6 for an hour’s tour by the National Trust. Well worth it! Go 125 steps underground and tour the tunnels from WWII

Given its proximity to Hever Castle – the birthplace of Anne Boleyn – you can imagine Henry VIII riding through this holloway as you walk through it. An eery, magical and beautiful sight
