Kelmarsh Tunnels
Brought Oscar My Dog Here For The First Time Today. (17/8/20) Nice Walk Although The Tunnel Itself Was A Bit Mucky And Slippery Which Is To Be Expected Due To The Weather. Word Of Advice...If You’Re Visiting After A Prolonged Or Heavy Rainfall, Do Wear Suitable Footwear. Also Being A Good Strong Beamed Torch Too. We Enjoyed It And Will Be Back To Explore Further.
