I visited one just a few miles from my house in Bridgend recently, hut 9 in Bridgend which was where the largest escape of prisoners occurred in the UK. Although there's only a couple of buildings left on the site its still worth a visit, but only open on certain days of the year so check out the web site for opening hours first.

I have lived in Cultybraggen several times in the past. It has a huge Cold War bunker in the grounds.
