I went to visit my mate in Nowheresville Lincolnshire last autumn, and stopped by this tunnel on the way back.


Part of the former Bourne-Melton Mowbray railway line, the line was twin track, 330 yards long; opened in 1893, and closed in 1959. Interesting facts are it took 400 men, 2.5 million bricks and 2 years to build.
Today, the tunnel is surrounded by a nature reserve, with park benches, steps, and a pleasant woodland trail above the tunnel linking both portals. Despite the warning signs threatening falling masonry, the tunnel itself is in good condition considering its 50 year neglect.
