  • The Lost Tunnel of Llandderfel - Wales Disused Railway.
    Join us as we take a look at a little known disused railway tunnel East of Bala in Wales. Hidden and out of sight, this was a real nice find hidden in the countryside midway between Bala & Llandderfel.
    Llandderfel Tunnel closed ahead of the scheduled closure date of Monday 18 January 1965 because of flooding by the River Dee which breached the line near Llandderfel on 14 December 1964. This section of the line was never re-opened.

    Every tunnel and viaduct is a testament to the thousands of Navis whose legacy is always underestimated

    Given all the effort and sometimes sacrifice that goes into building a tunnel it breaks my heart to see them disused or neglected. I hope this tunnel gets used again as a thoroughfare, without disturbing the wildlife if possible. Fantastic photography Ant, you really bring it to life.

    I am nearly 80 years old. I have known about this railway but never known about this tunnel. A photographers paradise. I agree with others. What a construction effort especially from those labourers. We’re they paid minimum wage??? Not likely!!

    Love these videos and many thanks for posting. Where's the best place to access the track bed to walk to Landderfel tunnel? Your video is the first time I've seen it since a day trip from the Midlands to Barmouth in 1963. Amazing to see inside, both the quality of the build which has lasted so long, and the beautiful colours of the rock formations. Much appreciated.

    That's a fascinating little find, I love the contrast between the brickwork and the rock sections. My wife and I went to Ruabon on holiday back in the 90's, if I had been into exploring like I am now I'd have been into that tunnel like a shot!!!!
