CITY OF CAVES
NOTTINGHAM

Take a walk into the City of Caves, a subterranean realm where history and the supernatural intertwine. Beneath the bustling streets of Nottingham lies a labyrinth of tunnels and chambers, carved from the ancient sandstone.

 

The City of Caves is an underground network of over 800 man-made caves, carved out of the soft sandstone beneath the city. These caves have been used for various purposes over the centuries, including as homes, cellars, and places of work.

The history of the caves dates back to medieval times, with some of the oldest caves being used as early as the 13th century.

 

During the medieval period, the caves were used for tanning leather, and remnants of a medieval tannery can still be seen today. In more recent history, the caves served as air raid shelters during World War II, providing refuge for the city's residents during bombing raids

 

Visitors have reported hearing what sounds like explosions going off above them, as if reliving the terrifying air raids. Some have even claimed to feel stones being showered upon them, as though shaken loose by bombs dropping overhead.

The remnants of the tannery, with its dark and damp atmosphere, have been the site of numerous paranormal activities. There have been reports of feeling a sense of dread and hearing unexplained noises echoing through the tunnels.

 

The spirits of those who once sought refuge in these dark chambers may still be watching. Are you ready to uncover the mysteries that lie beneath the surface?
