Tags: Railway Tunnel.
Ledbury Tunnel is a single-track railway tunnel immediately to the east of Ledbury railway station on the Cotswold Line in Herefordshire England. The tunnel through the limestone Dog Hill was opened in 1861 by the Worcester and Hereford Railway and remains in use today. The tunnel was notorious among steam locomotive crews for its bad atmosphere the result of its unusually narrow bore combined with a steep gradient (1:80) and a bend at the north end.
