About
Kelmarsh Tunnel is part of the Brampton valley way walkway and is 480m in length. The tunnel and walkway is popular amongst walkers and cyclists alike. Even on the brightest of days, the only thing that can be seen in the tunnel itself, is that light at the end of the tunnel.
There are numerous local tales of a Victorian railway worker haunting the tunnel, who succumbed to a tragic death and has been seen both in the day and at night walking the tunnel carrying a lantern.
The tunnel itself is is accessible day and night, however be aware, even on the brightest of days you will need a torch to see where you are going. Great for people looking for a nice family day out for a walk and also for those paranormal investigators who hope to catch sight of a ghostly figure.
There are also a couple of tunnels a couple of miles North of Kelmasrh, located in Oxendon, however these are not as long.

There is free parking if you park at NN6 9NB, the car park is small but its just a half mile walk to the tunnel entrance, once parked go up the steps and to the left.
Take a torch if you don't have natural night vision, the Tunnel is pitch black even in the day.
