Clayton Tunnel forms part of the London to Brighton main line. It's a Grade II listed building with an unusual turreted and castellated entrance, and a single story cottage on the top.

Built into the side of the South Down hills, is an imposing Gothic folly evocatively referred to as Clayton Tunnel North Portal. Originally constructed in 1841, the folly was part of the railway tunnel construction linking the then up-and-coming seaside town of Brighton to London.
