Inside an Abandoned Mountain Railway Tunnel. 

That was great. Some nice tunnels there. loved the rant. I think your getting more daring 😏

I wasn't expecting that tunnel to be in reasonable good condition & I wasn't expecting the Welsh authorities to be that interested - Well done, and thanks..

Great to see such an early tunnel, and even better that you got a positive reaction from CADH, when you spoke to them. So much of our heritage is being lost. We had early tram roads and railways in Scotland too. We even had Scottish Standard Gauge for a wee while, it was 4' 6".

This is something quite significant! I am, of course, talking about Paul entering a tunnel. Bravo! But do keep your safety in mind. Again an interesting and enjoyable video, I especially like those landscapes that bear their scars so beautifully.

You literally get inside the history..... brilliant

Kudos to you for rattling a few cages over the state of preservation of these parts of the world's industrial history.

Well done you two. Such a wonderful place and Yes! That history should be saved for future generations to see and enjoy. Great video, as always.keep up the good work.

Really enjoyed your enthusiasm and research. As a local, I'd love to help you pronounce the Welsh names e.g. Blorenge, the emphasis is on the Blor so it doesn't sound like a blancmange! Thanks for the thumbs up for the Brecon Beacons national park. Croeso! Welcome!

Another nice and informative blog and and action on its plight

Great vid! My dad wrote the guide book for the canal and I remember doing this exact same walk many years ago. I was telling him.about your last video on this just a few days ago. Great stuff ... brings back many memories.

Very enjoyable. Hopefully, following your efforts this site and the tunnel can be preserved and managed for future generations. Great stuff.

Fascinating history! Well done...love it. A must visit added to our list. Thank you.

Nice one, even better you got some action going to preserve it and to make it more accessible. Well done Paul and Rebecca

I get the feeling that this area is becoming your Corrour! Cracking video, as ever

Fantastic workmanship inside the tunnel. Both the men who built it, and your good selves! Very interesting as always. History at your fingertips. Thanks.

hey paul and rebecca , another great video , lots of memories braught back to me , used to explore that place when i was a kid , i never found the tunnel lol , great stuff :)

Who couldn’t enjoy that. It was just fantastic. I so love the stonework of the tunnels. So pleased something being done there. Thank you so much for taking me along, just loved it

Fantastic. Thank you so much for showing interest in the Tram/Dram Roads. If not for them we would never have had the Railways. Wonderful video, thanks again.

Great video very interesting, and I agree history must be looked after for all to enjoy, thanks Paul and Rebecca xx

Great video, stunning scenery and excellent editing as always. Oh, and loved the rant! What you are doing, in raising awareness of the need to protect our heritage, is exemplary!

How cool is that. Finding that tunnel. I've never seen a country with so many train tunnels.

wonderful discovery and getting a follow up regarding the flooded one is just great.There is so much history lying all over the land waiting for you to discover and bring to us.. cheers

I love industrial archeology, especially if it's railway related. Thank you for this glimpse into history. The first tunnel is in remarkably good condition considering its age and lack of maintenance. With the transportation available at the time it was much more efficient to extract the useful material from the ore before transport rather than after, leaving the unprofitable spoils at the source. It's a shame that there isn't more contemporaneous information such as drawings, photographs, or even just a written description. Great job getting preservationists involved, too, even if it's only to stop further deterioration. Keep up the good work. I'm from the USA and I find all of your expeditions and adventures fascinating.

Great video & history. Your enthusiasm is Appreciated. 👍👍.

Great Video - I like the scramble into the tunnel.

Yet another great video, Paul and Rebecca. Fascinating tunnels. Something absolutely needs to be done to save them.

Another brilliant video.all the best .

abandoned for lets say 140 years and the entrance hardly visible from some distance. hard to believe. thanks for sharing your great exploration with us

Great vlog guys and hopefully a worthwhile for the tunnels future. Many thanks.

Brilliant video and history so interesting. Your videos are fab x

Superb, and what a great outcome. Reminded me of my fave TimeTeam episode digging up a tramway at Blaenavon. Should really give this place a visit...bloody lovely.

A nice little video, thank you very much.

Good Enthusiasm, Good Mini Rant, Good Scenery & Good Intervention.

I really like the relationship that you two have. :)

Another brilliant video, I love how you climbed into the tunnel from above. Well done for getting Cadw to act on taking care of these historic structures!

Nice one and good on you for pointing out the lack of management.

Great video. You captured the history and beautiful scenery very nicely.

good video both, really enjoyed it nice one...

That's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing

Absolutely awesome to see the tunnel still in great condition. Keep up the great work you two 😁🇦🇺

Love you guys, thanks for another great video!

Great video! Genuinely felt excited when you were revealing the tunnels. 🙌🙌

Yes!!!!!epic tunnel and we definitely want to check this out! What an amazing location, no idea how you found these. Absolutely incredible views.

Absolutely amazing. Brilliant exploring and chasing up. Make sure Rebecca has thermal long johns xxx

Great work thank you

Great video!

I'm glad to hear that Cadw is involved in trying to preserve the site.

Both .... As always an awesome vid. Keep them coming for us old "Arm chair" explorers who cant manage the excitement anymore!!!

Another great video! 😀

Great video, amazing how intact it still is, hopefully will get preserved now you've brought it to the authorities attention. Well done to you both.

Thanks Paul & Rebecca for a great video. This site is a few miles up the road from my home (Tredegar). It’s great you contacted Cadw as this piece of our local history should be preserved before it is lost to future generations.... Thanks once again to you both for a very informative video 👏

Paul and Rebecca , thanks for sharing your trips with us. When I am watching it is like having two special friends invite you along for a unique outing.in the beautiful countryside. I really like seeing Britain up close and personal . Best wishes , be safe and fair travels. Charles McMillan

I had zero anxiety watching you crawl down inside that tunnel... 😬 Great vid guys, it was wonderful to see this section of the ironworks- and good on you for getting in touch with Cadw! It would be interesting to see what work gets done on the site.

awesome, This defo one of your best vids to date!

Well done, Whitewicks!

Great video, well done on the rant. Only visited Blaenavon iron today. If I had the time today I would have visited the forge tunnel.

Finally got round to watch this! It was a lovely video, did like the camera angles used on this and how you did tie it in as well, great example at 06:54 when you was showing the collapse inside the tunnel and seconds later, showing it from the outside! Also I love how you stop the waffling on by advertising a website!

Loved the video as always. Sometimes a rant gets things done lol. Must visit there as looks very nice.

wow must say i am very impressed great video

Really enjoyed this vlog guys, hopefully with your intervention they will start to look after the tunnels, particularly the collapses.

Loved that....being a local loved your mispronounciations!Thanks for the heads up.Don’t think i’d seen it before.

Thank you guys! :) Luv the vids!

That wheelbarrow in the Garnddyrys Forge Tunnel looked suspiciously like someone had been reclaiming (stealing) the stones.

Another awesome video. Hope that portal is looked after.

Nice drone work. Very professional.

thanks guys that was real great vid, great to hear about the letter you sent.

Another great video

The opening made me think, you guys are the Jay and Silent Bob of the railways hahaha

Happy new year Paul and Rebecca

New subscriber here, I am really enjoying your videos, great mix of exploration, research and factual history. Thank You for your work.

Fantastic tunnel find. Good to have a rant and to actually get a fairly positive response from a public body

7:52 all I can say is 'wow'! And it has been in remarkable condition for such a length of time.

Just up the road from me.Fascinating.

Very interesting... I subscribed and I was delighted to know you followed up the video by contacting the authorities. Very few explorers seem to do that but it marked out this vlog from many others. Oh and all the Welsh place names... well done!

So very interesting thank you

First thing WOW!! That was so very interesting to watch as i live a few miles from where you have been filming. I found myself getting closer to my pc screen when you were going through the tunnel! There's an old pit Called Big Pit, that is open to the public, where you get to go down the shaft to see how the men and boys used to work! The conditions must have been so bad that we cannot comprehend. Imagine being a young boy, sitting in the pitch dark for 10/12 hours, opening and closing safety doors for the miners! Brilliant video guys.

Those CRE 🔦 are brilliant, enjoyed the video

amazing videos

Fare do’s to you both it’s amazing you found these bloody things lol just stay safe as wales riddled with this sort of stuff. It’s great your bringing to the wider attention your exploration success 👍🏻

Awesome video

Your video was very interesting. Thank you

Keep smiling and all the best for 2020...

Fascinating

Chalk up another well filmed & informative vlog in a beautiful part of this country, from the best railway exploration duo on 'You Tube'. Thanks for replying to my last enquiry, unfortunately, I could only read it as far as the bit, where you were going to say about how Rebecca was doing. They do keep your feet warm tho, & should last you years. Regards.... Rural Geeze

I really enjoy the videos and seeing you guys enthusiasm in your quest. Industrial heritage has always been an interest to me, even though most people just don't get it. At least I'm not the only one.....

Great video

Cool video, I recognised where it was straight away as one of my other subscribed channels went there with her mother who remembers the cottages still standing.

Well done 👍

10/10 a cracking explore

well done

My grandfather was born somewhere near this spot, I think. I'm looking forward to more explorations. Thank you very much.

yo - whitewick . i sure enjoyed your video . thanks (from texas) .

Very interesting from New Zealand thank you

Wow! Wasn't expecting such a good look inside, excellent work. I'm not usually the safety-conscious type, but I can't help but think some kind of head protection might be in order, especially given the number of collapses in the last year!

Really enjoyed it, beautiful area of Wales. By the way I need a wheelbarrow, should have brought the one home seen at 8.38.

Really exciting! Bit scary though.

G’day from Melbourne Australia great content keep it coming 👍🏻

A UWHS? Really needs looking after. Superb film. How exciting to find access.

Loving this channel. Well done for your bravery. I remember my dad taking me through Hillhead tunnel on the Cornhill branch in Northumberland back in the early 90s. Not sure if it's blocked now and I wish we had a camera back then.

What a beautiful morning. It's the kind of day I love to photograph, but hate to be out in doing photography. Seems like a risky place to go, given that holes keep opening into it! You're far more daring than me, I'd just stand back and poke my Gopro in on a stick!
