I go Inside the 3 Tunnels of Padley Gorge!
The Burbage Brook meanders its way through the Peak District and the Longshaw Estate through the famous and beautiful Padley Gorge.
Along this lovely flowing brook are 3 Culverts, or Tunnels. One below the road at Toads Mouth, one in the woodland above the railway station, and the 3rd more mysterious, hidden away below Grindleford Railway Station.
In this video i go in search or all 3 and get to have a look inside all of them.

Excellent as always. I've hiked extensively in the Peak District over 40 years and am still discovering new things from your videos.

The middle bridge is where the two 8ft pipes from originally Derwent, Hawden plus the later Ladybower reservoirs runup to a crossing under the A625 an along under Froggatt edge, through Chatsworth park to Nottingham and Leicester. Just follow the valve houses and the breather ports.

Am always fascinated by the brickwork and buildings Ant, as my father and brother were both Brickies - my dad died in the nineties and my brother 'Our John ' just recently - both of whom have now joined that illustrious long-line of historic builders, bless them both. Only the buildings now remain.

Fascinating explore in beautiful woodland. Thank you! Those tunnels were certainly built to last, and the one beneath the railway does indeed resemble a miniature railway tunnel. I wonder what that moth-eaten old pipe carried?

Thank you very much for this very interesting and informative video presentation which is very much appreciated. The stonework of these culverts is very impressive and the consideration of the behaviour of the water is certainly well thought out. The stepped culvert under the railway seems to be to slow the water down as it makes its way, ultimately, to the sea. If they had not done this it would have formed a gorge due to its speed after coming through the culvert which in turn could destabilise the embankment. They thought of everything. It is a pity that they did not use stone, now, in its natural form, in construction as that would be far better for the environment and far more pleasing to the eye!

Great video, Ant. So glad we saw Totley tunnel too! I have been to Grindleford, but never knew that the culvert ran underneath! Incidentally, I always wondered why it is called a tunnel if rails run through it, but a culvert if water does! Lovely music too, as always.

At 16:53, it looks like an old sluice gate, but you can't see what is behind it, because of the private land. Maybe the old pipe was part of an old sewerage system that has been replaced.

@TrekkingExploration 3 ай бұрын

Sewage for the pipe is what I thought too. Maybe from the properties and disused once better sewage works were installed

Back in the early 60s I cycled there from Sheffield with a school friend. We'd be 12 or 13 years old. We walked through that culvert at the Toads Mouth. It was Summer and dry so it was only a trickle of water. About a mile upstream from there, the Bubidge Brook is joined by a tributary. A little further still upstream, they pass under the road from Ringinglow to Hathersage. Have you explored them?
