The Decoy Bunker
This Decoy Bunker was part of the Ministry of Defence’s strategy of deception against German bombers in World War II. Two men would take alternate watches and, when air raids threatened, go out into the neighbouring field and light fires designed to make the Luftwaffe think that they had hit the nearby Glascoed munitions factory.
Rescued from a mound of brambles and historical obscurity it now sleeps 3 with a fully-equipped kitchen and en suite bathroom.
Sit on the grass above the bunker and watching the sun set over the valley. With the nearest other building over 500m away, there’s barely any light pollution, so the night skies are unspoilt, fantastic and completely bomber free.
