Headstone Tunnel
Headstone Tunnel on the Monsal Trail in The Peak District.
The Monsal Trail is an old railway line that closed in 1958 and has now been turned into a 8.5 mile path for walkers, cyclists and horses.
To be honest me and the girlfriend only walked about a mile of it. but we went through a 487 metre long tunnel and across a 91 metre long viaduct built in 1863 which was 40ft above the valley floor and back again, a pretty decent walk!
I couldnt help but think of the Wirral Way when i walking the trail. They both used to be old railway lines and though you could say the Monsal Trail has better views i think the thing about these old railway lines is that they always have a story behind them and thats why they are always worth an explore.
one last thing, this would make an excellent spot for a bit of light painting as the lights go off at night!
