A delightfully charming and practical tunnel under the Grand Union Canal which is on an embankment along here. The tunnel was built just wide enough for horses to get through, which accounts for its distinctive shape.

Horse Tunnel was built for horses to walk through to the Blacksmith’s yard and stables behind the Barley Mow. cosgrovehistory.co.uk/doc/canal/canalsec.html

The tunnel is no cycling but it is worth getting off your bike to take a look.
