Return to Harecastle Tunnel, Bathpool
After four years it was necessary to return to the eerie Harecastle Tunnel of Bathpool Park. This time I found a bunch of school books, an old phone & a burned out bike…
The tunnel has been documented plenty of times by users of the Urban Exploration site 28 Days Later. Pictures from within the tunnel can be viewed here.
Check out my initial visit to the tunnel here.

I don’t really live around here, i’m just visiting my girlfriend and her father. But i was told to go for a walk about and take photos of the local park. so i walk to bathpool park and didn’t see the old railway, until the second visit to the park. I went down to have a look and it as interested me, to find out about the park. I was wondering if you know anymore about the railway or what happen to it for it to be shut down.
Hi Daniel,
That section of the railway was shut down due to the electrifying of the line. They widened the northern tunnel and then bypassed the other 2 tunnels with the line you see going through Bathpool Park today.
There’s loads of detailed info & maps in this PDF here.
Cheers,
Rob
