Rob explores a mystical cave system that altered Victorian Britain's view of human history before entering a once top-secret bunker that was constructed to be Britain's nerve centre if the bomb had been dropped during the Cold War. He also follows an underground seam of tin in a mine that stretches out several miles under the Atlantic Ocean.
