    The Kelmarsh Tunnels are disused railway tunnels. The original tunnel was single-track, and when the line was doubled a second single-track tunnel was built. Due to the small bore, the tunnels were known as "the rat-holes" by train drivers.

    The former "up" line tunnel at Kelmarsh is open as part of the Brampton Valley Way, running along the former railway trackbed.

    The tunnel is unlit and the tunnel length is 480 metres (1,570 ft). You will need lights!

    Definitely need good lights if you’d like to ride this. Decent surface but take it slow as plenty go through on foot with no lights.

    2 longish old railway tunnels, lights needed!
