Sign on the Trans Pennine Trail
Locally it is also the Dove Valley Trail. The trackbed through the tunnels was used as an unofficial footpath for some years but access has now been blocked. http://www.forgottenrelics.co.uk/tunnels/gallery/silkstone.html

Silkstone Tunnels closed
This was once one of the steepest gradients on a British railway. The noise of four locomotives getting a loaded coal train up the bank to Penistone must have been terrific. The line closed in 1981.

Choice of routes at Silkstone Common
The former railway line is not a through route, and the waymarked trails take the 'up and over route' on the south side of the cutting.

Looking down to the tunnel mouth
The east portal of the lower of the two Silkstone tunnels on the Wombwell to Silkstone West line. This was one of the steepest gradients on a British railway. The noise of four steam locomotives getting a loaded coal train up the bank to Penistone must have been terrific (and conditions in the tunnels appalling). The line was electrified for the last 30 years or so of its existence.
