Finalist, Destination Award 2015

Riding through the 2km long Coaling Tunnel is an exhilarating and slightly surreal experience in joined up thinking. As you enter a hole in the side of a steep and lushly green hill, beneath your wheels you'll see the image of a railway track painted along the original route. Your way is guided by lights hung where the old lantern fittings were when the original tunnel was built in 1924. And to add to the atmosphere, the sound of an old steam train is piped through loudspeakers along the way.
