Overview

We get our limbs loose by following the By Brook Eastwards before ascending the hill past Rudloe Manor and through Rudloe village to the Eastern portico of the main 3Km tunnel. We turn west past Hazelbury Manor to view the Western portico just outside Box. Our walk is not yet finished as we now head to the lesser-known Western tunnel which is only 0.35km long but still with good examples of Brunel's architecture. This walk has one long climb and well worth the effort. Please bring a packed lunch.
