North Portal of Gorsty Hill Tunnel


The entrance to the 505m tunnel. An unpleasant little tunnel as the roof closes right down in places and is often full of rubbish. Keep speed to idle and don't single-hand through. Boatd have ben know to be jammed in their for hours by unseen baulks of timber and even deep freezes that have been thrown in the cut.

NOte the laybay where a tug was kept in commercial days.
