Sandsend Tunnel is a tunnel on the former Whitby, Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway that was opened in 1883 and closed in 1958. The rail line that ran through it was originally intended to travel along the top of the cliffs, however some of the cliff fell into the sea whilst construction was suspended so the NER constructed two tunnels, the Sandsend Tunnel and the Kettleness Tunnel.
The Sandsend Tunnel is the longer of two tunnels being 1,652 yards (0.94 miles) in length. It is predominantly straight but the north-western 300 yards incorporate a curve to the north.
There are a total of five air shafts, two of which have nearby service galleries leading off horizontally to the cliffs which were used to dump spoil while carving out the tunnels, the air shafts were capped in 1958.
The walls within Sandsend Tunnel are bowing quite badly now, indicating a large imminent collapse.

loads of jet in that second stretch of tunnel. in the left tunnel too the cliff. its really bad grade jet though, crumbles
thats changed quite a bit since i last went in there. wallas are clearly on the move. That second shaft is under the farmers field and he drives other that in tractor when doing feilds hahaha when yo overlay the old map with the new you can see the air shaft in field
Yeah, it’s certainly deteriorating at a rate.. Sounds like we’ve both been down there enough times. To notice any changes.
They’re talking about reopening this tunnel to extend the bike/walking path that runs up the coast from Scarborough to Whitby on the old railway lines.

It will never reopen unfortunately. The walls are bulging to an extent that indicates another collapse. I wouldn’t recommend going in without knowledge of the tunnels, and land above them.
@@whiterosealtitude I have no intention of going in, I often run the CW from Runswick to Whitby, and ride the cinder path between Whitby and Scarborough. My father had mentioned that there was a plan to link u the path that runs up the coast to the North with the Cinder Path, and that the old tunnel was the preferred means of linking the bike path network. Some local friends had been in the tunnel and mentioned it was in a sorry state so I was surprised. It also wouldn't be an easy job to link the top section of the tunnel to the lines that run from Kettleness to Runswick,
