Brackla Bunker

Brackla Hill, Bridgend

A hidden bunker meant to run Wales after a nuclear war.

Tunnels in Brackla Hill were first dug to store munitions. In the late 1960s two of them were turned into a nuclear command bunker, and it later became the centre from which all of Wales would be governed if Britain were attacked with nuclear weapons.
