Uploader's Comments

This is a view along the main tunnel of the "Tunnels Beaches" visitor attraction at Ilfracombe, looking back towards the entrance. The total length of the tunnles is a little over 160m (175 yds). Originally a total of six tunnels were excavated, five of these remain, of which four are still used.
