Shrewley Towpath Tunnel

This unusual tunnel, tucked inconspicuously away between houses on Shrewley Common, leads down to the Grand Union Canal and was at one time the route for boats' horses which were led across the top of the hill. Today it provides convenient access for boaters to reach the pub and shop in Shrewley.
