Rhydymwyn Valley

Restoration of Tunnel Tours. Urgent remedial works have taken place in the tunnel complex and RVHS has now been granted renewed access under strict Health and Safety conditions. We have therefore confirmed some dates when we can undertake tours of this most historic and interesting labyrinth and have currently two available:- 1. Sunday August 18th 2024 - limited availability (6 people slots) - 10:00am start (note this is adding to an organised group already booked in and will have presentations, tunnel tour and site tour - although you clearly don't have to go on the site tour if you don't wish to) 2. Sunday 15th September 2024- . This also includes a subsequent site tour following the tunnels visit although again, if you don't wish to you don't have to. 11:45 slot (20 people slots) 12:30 slot (20 people slots) 13:15 slot (20 people slots) For each slot you will need to arrive no later than 45 mins beforehand (for signing in, kitting out, Health and safety briefing and making way to Tunnel entrance) All will be filled on a first come first served basis (we already have a waiting list which we are contacting seperately) There may be other tours arranged in due course should there be the demand. If you are interested in attending any of these please utilise the CONTACTS page on our website...https://www.rhydymwynvalleyhistory.co.uk We will return the message and confirm the booking arrangements at that point. To note... we request a £10 fee per head and, due to the costs involved in setting up etc, we cannot provide refunds in the event of non-attendance on the agreed day/time. Reminders on Health & safety - no Under 16 years of age allowed in tunnels, no pregnant people allowed in tunnels, no dogs allowed on site, no drones on site. Note - in the event of any 'Force majure' (e.g flooding, severe weather, unforseen tunnel issues etc) we reserve the right to cancel planned events
