Royal Gunpowder Mills | Tractor Trailer Guided Tours

Tractor Trailer Guided Tours

Take a guided Tractor Trailer Guided Tour (seating maximum 22 adults per trip) to the ‘out of bounds’ part of the site.

You will see the remains of many of the buildings used in the production of explosives including the Grand Nitrator (where nitroglycerine was manufactured), Newton’s Pool used for the testing of underwater explosives including the explosives used in the Dambusters’ “bouncing bomb” and our iconic Press House with waterwheel and press where one of the most dangerous processes on site took place.

We will be open on selected dates in 2023.

See our What’s On or Group Visits for opportunities to see our captivating site.
