The tunnel gives pedestrian access between the Tothill/St Judes area and that of Prince Rock. Between 1905-1951 there was a railway halt above the tunnel on a line which ran from Plymouth Friary station (itself closed in 1958 and now largely built over) to Turnchapel. The railway terminus at Turnchapel would have been used by excursionists to Jennycliff and Bovisands though getting there entailed a hike up over the hill above Mount Batten and along Jennycliff Lane. In those days an excursion worth the pain of aching feet and calves!
