This tunnel was one of seven tunnels built back in the 1880s to provide a passageway through the hilly country between Waterfall and Otford. It was abandoned in 1920 when a double lane was needed rather than a single lane for the steam locomotives so they built a new double lane in a different location and closed this one down. Legends surround this and the other tunnels that create mystery as well as beauty to the tunnels. Up until it was vandalized, visitors were allowed to tour the tunnel. They were advised to bring their torches and mud boots as it would get very muddy. When it is dark, you can see the glow worms light the place up.
