RAF Dunderhole Point Radar Station

Set right on the edge of the north Cornish cliffs at Dunderhole Point between Tintagel and Trebarwith was a Second World War radar station. Initially built by the army in 1941 it was taken over by the RAF when it was upgraded in 1942. This video looks at what is known about the station and visits the site to see what remains can still be found.

Can you add any detail to what is known about the site? Do you have any wartime photographs of the site or its personnel? Did any of your relatives serve there or billet those who did? If so, please leave a comment.

Music is Edgar's Pomp & Circumstance March by the Pro Arte Orchestra. Thanks for looking. Please check out my other videos of World War Two sites in Cornwall.

The CD/CHEL sites i've seen ,the three main operations buildings including the set house are very close together.Find one and usually you find the bases of the other two.the nissen hut at 4.11 might have been part of the domestic site.what the tower and the station looks liek depended on how far the station evolved.The full CHEL i believe had a similar tower with an ops cabin at the top and a large dish type antennae.the temporary and intermediate didn't have the tower and had huts
