Lavington's Hole is a Civil War tunnel dug into the sandstone cliffs under Bridgnorth Castle. The tunnel was built under the direction of a Parliamentarian engineer named Colonel Lavington in 1646. 69 feet of tunnel was dug but was not completed as the Royalists surrendered on Sunday 26th April 1646. The tunnel entrance is now covered by an iron gate, and is located in a public garden along Underhill Street.
