Headstone Tunnel. Monsal Dale Viaduct /July 2015

I remember looking through a large gap in the doors of this tunnel on my very first visit to Derbyshire about 18yrs ago and it did look a bit scary looking into the black void. have walked them all since then a few times over ;)) Keep well...Regards, Bill

Interesting. I'm talking about just after closure and before any doors. When did this become a regularly used walkway (and, I guess, cycle-way), I wonder?.

The trail and all the tunnels 8.5mls each way from Bakewell to Blackwell mill (Chee Dale) opened fully to the public in May 2011. at the cost of £2.25 million, funded from [Department of Transport] the lights in the tunnels come on automatically in daylight and turn off when dark. they also have a 2hr emergency lighting if the tunnel lights fail. it is planned to extend into Buxton. Phew! got to lie down now! ;))...Best Wishes, Bill.

A superb photo for HFF Bill.
