The UK's Highest Railway Tunnel – Inside the Abandoned Torpantau Tunnel

Inside the Highest Railway Tunnel in the UK - Torpantau aka The Devils Tunnel High above Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales lies Torpantau Tunnel, the highest standard gauge railway tunnel in the UK. At 666 yards long, it has earned the eerie nickname "The Devil's Tunnel", and its abandoned passage remains shrouded in mystery. Once part of the Brecon & Merthyr Railway, this tunnel sits just above Torpantau Railway Station, which is now part of the Brecon Mountain Railway. I venture inside the tunnel, following its gradual curve from end to end, navigating through possible flooded portals and exploring its forgotten past. Why was this railway abandoned? What secrets lie inside? Join me as I uncover the history and hidden dangers of this incredible lost railway tunnel. 📌 Subscribe for more abandoned railway explorations! 👍 Like & comment if you'd dare to walk through this tunnel!
