Friends of Williamson's Tunnels - FoWT

Had a wonderful underground tour learning the history of Joseph Williamson and his estate.Our guides, Tony and Laura, are diggers themselves and shared their personal experiences which really helped shape the story.The project is entirely managed by volunteers and run on donations which is quite impressive. We look forward to returning!

Fascinating place and the volunteers who run it are amazing. I've visited a couple of times over the years and the volunteers' dedication and sheer hard work is simply a joy to behold. It's a real pity they are having to struggle with bureaucracy, there is so much more down there to be discovered.

It was one of the BEST tours that we have ever been. Lynn was our guide and she was GREAT! A place to visit out of the normal (commercial) tours. This place was full of mystery how it was being discovered and still discovering and piecing it together after all these years. We followed on to continue with the extended tour and we didn't regret it at all. Wonderful team of people that have been running and maintaining as well as uncovering new things! Kudos for such a wonderful experience we had!

We have a amazing trip on today, thanks Lynn arranged the booking for us to visit. Mike was our tour guide and very knowledgeable and so enthusiastic, took us deep down to the Paddington Williamson tunnel site, let us explored together when and how to discover, protect this amazing heritage. Let us learned more about the history and the details of every corner inside the tunnel. The sandstones, the arch, the decorations on the wall, the pottery, the secret under the cup, codd-neck bottle etc.., many many that they discovered were so amazing. Definitely worth to go

Cool tunnels and guide. Bring someone with you who can sing ... The acoustics are amazing in the caverns.

Great visit to the tunnels, the history and weirdness combined makes a trip worthwhile.Still very much a work in progress, the kids were entertained as well with the stories from the guide.Very impressive work has been completed by the volunteers.Loads of artifacts have been dug up.And it's very interesting listening to not only the history of the site, but a slight entry into the weird mind of Joseph Williamson and his weird tunnels he's made under half the estate.

Fantastic tour! Tom was our guide, he was really informative and could answer every question. You can tell that he is passionate about the Williamson Tunnels, their history, importance and their conservation. I would recommend this tour to everyone, it's safe, hard hats are handed out before the tour starts and staff are kind, professional and caring. From my first email to Lynn, until the end of the tour all the staff were pleasant, helpful and informative

Fantastic experience Tony and Laura were full of information about the place presentation of the items found whilst excavating was superb.Very interesting and I would 100% recommend it to anyone
