Wast Hill Tunnel on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal It is 2726 yards long and is one of the longest canal tunnels in the country, it is the 12 longest built but 6 of those are now disused making it the 6th longest. It can be a "wet" tunnel and when we went through had to use an umbrella. Wast Hill tunnel is cut through the ridge of hills that separates Worcestershire from Warwickshire and The Midlands. There is a winding hole just to the left to enable narrowboats to turn.
