From the album: Out and about in Somerset
Shute Shelve Tunnel on the Strawberry Line Trail in Somerset and North Somerset, in the South West of England. The old railway tunnel passes through a ridge between Shute Shelve Hill and Winscombe Hill in the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Although the tunnel is only about 180m long, it passes through a very marked transition in rock strata about two thirds of the way through, when entering through the North portal, (coming from Winscome and heading South towards Axbridge) - changing abruptly from soft marl to hard limestone. Where the tunnel was cut through the soft marl, it has a lining of brick and stone, whereas the section through the hard limestone has bare, unlined walls. The photo shows the transition between the lined and unlined sections of the tunnel. -

View of the South portal of Shute Shelve Tunnel on the Strawberry Line, where it cuts through the Mendip Hills in Somerset, SW England. Seen here with a couple of bicycle tail lights, somewhere near the other end of the tunnel. (If you go through there on a pushbike, you will definitely need to have a working set of lights. It can be very dark in the middle of the tunnel. (There are, apparently, some solar-powered lights in the tunnel - but I have never seen them working yet...) Here you go...You can sign the petition, if you want! http://www.thestrawberryline.org.uk/index.php -
