Your next holiday home?
Having recently converted two WW2 bunkers into holiday homes, the landowner at Ringstead now milks tourists rather than cows.
One of the homes used to be the Standby Generator Bunker. It was part of RAF Ringstead, a component of the Chain Home radar, a coastal early warning system that stretched from Cornwall in the west to Norfolk in the east. In 1941, the station was put into service, finally shutting down in 1956. The Bunker's Grade-II listing was taken into consideration during the renovation, and the original concrete walls and other elements have been kept. If you look carefully you can see the grass covered 'crescent' shape of the bunker to both the left and right of the concrete structure. Look inside here!
