Lead or Rumour info - Haddon Hall Tunnel

[poseiden]

Anyone had a look around the Haddon Hall tunnel? I was reading a report on the tunnels on the railway line outside Monsal head and had a look on google earth. If you follow the line as it comes out of Bakewell and heads towards Chatsworth it passes underneath Haddon Hall. A quick look on the internet reveals that a tunnel goes underneath the grounds of Haddon Hall as the Duke of Rutland didnt want to be staring at a railway in his back garden. It also stated that the local heritage railway museum might be interested in starting this line back up? Must still be in existence then.

2) Post as a lead if not already reported on? :crazy
