De Vere Horsley Estate new reopening

A secret 19th-century underground tunnel with links to Ada Lovelace has reopened at De Vere Horsley Estate, in Surrey, bringing a hidden chapter of British history back into the spotlight.

The investment in the tunnel follows a £1.3m refurbishment project that was recently completed at the hotel. Michael Micallef, General Manager commented: "Reopening this tunnel is a way to celebrate both the rich history of De Vere Horsley Estate and the remarkable legacy of Ada Lovelace. For generations, the tunnel has been a secret passage full of stories, from its origins serving the estate, to the memories of locals growing up with it and we're delighted to now share this hidden part of our heritage with the wider community once again."
