Donate today to Keep us Afloat

Whilst our site is closed due to the Covid-19 Coronavirus outbreak, it still costs us over £1000 a day to look after the tunnels, our digital outreach and our staff even though we'll have no income from visitors onsite. Help us keep protecting and sharing Dudley Tunnel with you through these difficult times! Read more
