The Ark Nuclear Bunker

The bunker is located at Soar, a stunning position high on the South Devon cliffs above Salcombe.

Some 18,500 square feet in size, the bunker was originally built during the early 1950’s as part of the RAF’s “Rotor” air defence scheme. In the late ‘50’s the bunker, a semi-sunk Type R6 design, was taken over by the Home Office as a Regional Seat of Government to be used in the event of nuclear war.

The bunker has two principal levels, one of which is underground, and was constructed with three foot thick, steel reinforced concrete surrounding the whole structure. A series of internal and external steel blast doors, additional security shuttering and a high perimeter fence around the facility all contribute to making the Ark bunker one VERY safe place to house your important records!

Built to incredibly high standards of construction, the facility can now provide businesses in the Southwest with the peace of mind that only comes with knowing that your business-critical documentation is in safe hands.
