Even though

During WW2 the forest had a whole network of railways and tunnels and weapon / ammo depots built.
About 35 years ago I remember that a part of the park was blocked off due to “protecting rare orchids”.
But the local rumour has it that when digging into the WW2 history stories, a local uncovered area’s in WW2 were highly restricted and had areas that were only accessible behind lead curtains!

That seems like an official denial…

Most of the structures and building have been filled in but it always interested me that some stories about the nuclear links seemed to be from multiple source, and when they came to light the same time area’s were blocked off to save orchids!

So with all that in mind I now live in hope my local area will have a few sightings…
