Venture into the Fort’s hidden depths and visit the East Tunnel on this special guided tour.
Normally closed to the public, it is one of the last unrestored areas within the walls, where original features remain untouched. This unique opportunity offers a rare glimpse into a lesser-seen side of Fort Nelson.
