You are allowed to take photos under tunnel as well but my photos were rubbish..It was too dark and my dslr didn't work properly.

Tour took around 2 hours. including 20 minutes video show at start of tour.

Cracker pics KB & Lenka. Well done.:handclap::handclap:

Went on the tour last year,it's not to be missed.

Fantastic pics, many thanks for adding them!

Thank you all.
I really enjoyed this journey, but in the tunnel was cold and I advise those who intend to visit the tunnel to dress warmly.

Great Pics ! & most interesting!! Cheers to all:PDT11

me and my mums uncle want to do this tour, but i know that he will never be able to manage walking up and down all those steps.
a real shame, but one day i'll do it (i hope) another fear to deal with, first the heights with the cathedral tower and soon the cramped enclosed spaces of the tunnels.

:PDT11

Excellent pics, Lenka. Looks like fun.

Did ya see any rats ?

I seem to remember either reading or hearing of a story about a vehicle (Morris pickup comes to mind) that ran under the tunnel for use by maintenance gangs, and that in later years when a (gas?) pipe was run through, the suspension on this vehicle was jacked up to straddle it.
Or was it in one of my dreams.

Brill pics Lenka, well done. :handclap:

You are quite correct. That's something they told us about when we went on the tour.
