See where Churchill and Eisenhower sat, thought up and planned Operation Torch – the invasion of North Africa.
After years of abandonment these tunnels were opened to the public for guided tours. The tour, available on a daily basis, takes about an hour and you will be able to view the places Eisenhower and Churchill worked during the planning of the invasion of North Africa in 1941. You enter the tunnels at Hay's level just by the Moorish Castle. To get there either walk up Willis' Road going past the Sacred Heart Church and bearing right at old St Bernard's Hospital or catch the No2 minibus from town. Walking through the tunnels listening to the qualified tour guide is fascinating enough but you can also look forward to visiting Jock's balcony, a unique look out on the sheer north face of the Rock which over looks the airfield, the local cemetery and northwards over the Coast del Sol
How to get there:
Although the tunnels are located with in the Upper Rock Nature Reserve this is not one of the sights included in the Nature Reserve entrance ticket. The tunnels are located at the northern end of the Nature Reserve and is a short walk up from the Moorish Castle you will be required to buy a separate entrance ticket for the tour as well as a ticket for the Nature Reserve.
