Loved this straight tunnel with a slight downhill slope. There is a large pipe half buried which had to walk along as there was so much water running through it. 3 months of rain every day previous. It is in Wales !!
Wenvoe Tunnel is a disused tunnel on the defunct Barry Railway that runs under Culverhouse Cross on the western outskirts of Cardiff, in the Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales. It was opened in 1889 on a line used to carry coal to Barry Docks, and closed in 1963. WIKI
Followed to track line north ob google maps and also went to Cwm Coke Works eventually.Coke for the steam boats .
Walked the full length which in not advisable as the exit is steep and loose. then over a fence into a scrapyard, then over a roof onto the road. Half way next time.

Loved the mineral deposits left on the brickwork from the water running through. The black running through may be the bitumen lining between the layers of brick or natural from the strata.
