Wow. Very impressive structure. A lot of work to build that. Thank you for taking us along on this voyage....and thanks for showing the light painting technique.
really good. 6 hrs in the tunnel and may II say, well worth it for the viewer. thank you
Yes a amazing location, , could spend hours in places like this, thanks Pat
I worked on the Haddon Hall estate for a few months after I left school in 1985. Never knew about the tunnel. Great explore!
Absolutely brilliant photos
Fascinating. I've been to Haddon Hall yet had no idea of the train tunnel. Many thanks indeed for enlightening us. Cheers
Great film! Great adventure. Tks for sharing your skills. 👍 I enjoy the trip. 👍
Hi Carlos, you got it spot on it was a true adventure into the unknown, thanks for comments, all the best Pat

Great time Pat, those tunnels are amazing. The light painting worked great, I'll have to remember that. Thx for sharing!
Such gorgeous mosses and ferns! Nice video as usual!
Splendid Patrick , love your photos the light painting explained was a nice bonus, thank you.
Hi Fran great place to spend the day down here. Hoping to put a video on with the light painting and other photography methods explained, thanks Pat
Nice one 👍🏻 thanks for taking us along!
Definitely worth a explore this one, great day out, thanks Pat
Fantastic again Patrick!! Thank you.
Thanks Matt, such a amazing place all hidden and forgotten, thanks Pat
Loved the video, those pictures were great a magical quality to them. Loved your enthusiasm and knowledge too. Thanks for sharing.
Ken Sherwood thanks Ken, the quality of he light painted shots amaze me at times, such detail, thanks for your comments Pat
Great video, fantastic photography, thanks for sharing.
Hi Kathryn the photos worked out better than I expected, it was pitch black in some areas and massive so a flash would not of provided enough light, very satisfying when you see the finished results, like anything you may take 6 photos and just one is the shot you were after. Thanks for the comments much appreciated, Pat
Excellent! Thank you so much for all of your brilliant and varied videos.
Your very welcome, thanks Pat
Fascinating. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.
Yes it was a very interesting explore, you could just imagine the steam trains coming through the tunnel, thanks for watching Pat
Amazing Patrick thanks for sharing
paul waller Hi Paul such a massive interior, took alot of lighting up for photos, the sooty walls seem to absorb slot of light,but look great when put on computer, well worth a visit, thanks for watching Pat
Wow! What a great video! Adding the steam train sounds, was the perfect touch! So the owner didn't want to see a steam train go through his property! Now a days any railroad fan, would give their right arm to have that!!! Much blessings to you and yours, being sent from me, in the state of Michigan, U.S.A.
Another great video Patrick, plus I've learnt how light painting works. I always say a day where you learn something new is a good day!
Yes Andy quite true, thanks Pat
Totally fab Pat well done mate.
very beautiful pics!!!great job patrick
stem digital IS A SCAM thanks for that it's the light painting techniques that gave the great photographs, suprise me how well they turned out, all the best Pat
Nice video Pat. Amazing tour of our history. I love the 'haunting' sound of the steam engines too! Those engineers really did a 'proper' job in those days and how hard it must have been. Thanks for posting mate and enjoy your attention to detail in your videos.
Jonathan Peake Thanks Jonathan if only we could see a real steam engine pass through the tunnel, probably not but this was the nearest I could get to it, thanks again for your comments Pat
Great vid and very informative. Risky going on your own but you clearly researched all that prior to the visit. The construction itself is amazing. Thanks again.
Hi Steve, magnificent tunnel , new what to expect when I went in bit of common sense with spare torches and general awareness of trips and fall otherwise pretty safe, thanks for comments Pat
2 words come to mind.... Creepy Crawlies... Awesome photos!!
Jesse from Vegas! Hi Jesse yes always seem to be flying things in my torch light, and my hat is usually covered in spiders, so you maybe right, Pat
Thoroughly enjoying all your films Pat. Got started on the hidden tunnel in Chesterfield and eventually got here. Thanks for taking the time...
Hi and thanks this was my first railway tunnel bit of a walk to get here but a great tunnel, thanks Pat
Great pictures Pat, thanks for sharing 👍
Hi Fergus, the [pictures worked out better than I thought, so much detail have a couple of similar videos coming up in March, all the best Pat
Excellent video Patrick and a good explore. You achieved very good results with the light painting technique. The sound effects of steam locos was the icing on the cake.
Hi yes a little bit different this video a great place to explore, if only there was a steam train just left down there, thanks for comments and watching Pat
Fascinating, great job Pat. Haddon Hall is one of my favourite places to visit in the Peak.
Thanks Gary, amazing place this, hidden and forgotten, but such a great explore, all the best Pat
Brilliant Pat ,very informative. Class architecture.
Yes, my first railway tunnel, such a magnificent structure, thanks Pat
Love this film. Great job.
Hi Ray great explore this even more exciting because it is private, owned by the Haddon Hall Estate, thanks Pat
Fantastic pictures mate well done.
The Revster hi and thanks for that, the method of light painting gave the best pictures, thanks for watching Pat
Marvellous stuff, Pat and loved the explanation of how you light paint. So much dedication you have and thanks for showing us the ventilation shafts from above at the end. Love to watch your videos.
joesophie90 hi and thanks for kind comments, this was my first time at light painting and I was amazed at the results, so much detail, could not believe the pictures when I first saw them on the computer. A great place to practice light painting for more challenging locations, later on, all the best Pat
Love watching the abandoned past good work keep it up 👍
Jack Higgins Hi Jack yes some amazing places were built by the Victorian builders , will probably never see construction like this again, thanks for watching Pat
Cracking video mate, and some great photographs. Loved the light painting. You really know your stuff obviously. Keep 'em coming. Agree whole heartedly we don't know what's under our feet.
Hi Paul first time I had tried the light painting, spent 6 hours in tunnel and took dozens of shots, then picked the best just trial and error until you get the amount of light right, thanks for comments all the best Pat
Obscure but fascinating! thank you Patrick.
Max Flight Hi Max great location this and so many photo opertunities, thanks for watching Pat
Beautiful photography !
Thanks, such a beautiful price of Victorian Engineering, thanks Pat
@@patrickdickinson6492 You're welcome
Another great tunnel tour loved the lighting Technic for the pictures I got a sense of what it was like running a train through there. Shame so many of these tunnels are not used and left to rot. Keep them coming.
Hi Owen yes amazing tunnel this one, just locked up and left to decay such a pity, thanks for watching Pat
Love the video I'm 10 and loves camping I liked your rips of keeping warm
Hi Lindsay hope videos inspire you to get out and have some great adventures, thanks Pat
Thanks for making the video. Went to Haddon Hall in 2014 and bought a book on railway walls.
Would much prefer it the lines were still operating .
Thank you Pat I really enjoyed watching your video. Colin
Southwest Bushcraft thanks for that Colin it was great to explore and film, thanks Pat
Very nice video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
Thanks for that and glad you enjoyed the vidio, amazing places, thanks Pat
Nice one, Pat. Very interesting and loved the light-painting results too.
Hi Glenn yeah, thought I would do something different bit of a adventure going in there, will be trying some more, thanks for watching Pat
This is a beautiful walk, I used to live up at 9ladies and have done a little exploring around Backwell and Rowley, beautiful countryside
Hi Robbie yes lovely countryside round there with this beautiful tunnel all hidden away, thanks Pat
14:44 That is an amazing shot. The detail and light in the ceiling above and yet still managing to be in shadow, very nice. Enjoying the videos as well, spot on presenter.
Hi and thanks for watching, a lot of the still photos were taken by lightpainting giving very detailed shots even thought it was pitch black. The photo at 14.44 i took on a 60 sec exposure , I had to stay perfectly still and at the same time wave my torch about in front of me to light everything up and form myself as a silhouette. Thanks again for yor kind comments and watching Pat
Excellent presentation with details of your photographic technique results bringing a piece of lost history into the 21st century.
john salsbury Hi John thanks for kind comments, certainly brings a forgotten price of Victorian Engineering to life, thanks Pat
A fascinating tour of a piece of modern history! The light painting technique yields amazing results, too.
Yes the light painting images always suprise me with the detail, thanks Pat
Patrick Dickinson I’d never even heard of it until you mentioned it in your video of the Chesterfield tunnel. However I’ve seen many pics that look like they’ve used the same technique.
@@WardyLion Hoping to do a video just on underground photography soon, Pat
Sweet!
I really enjoyed this video! Something different and very interesting. Thanks!
Thanks Lori, amazing place like going back in time down there, thanks Pat 👍
Incredibly beautiful
Sherry Ackerman Hi Sherry yes amazing piece of Victorian Engineering, it was amazing inside, all built by hand, thanks for your comments Pat
I love this video Patrick, I descend from the Vernon Family and love everything about Haddon Hall. I never knew about this RR Tunnel thanks for taking me thru it.
Your very welcome Diana, such a amazing place all hidden from view, if I had a railway cross my land I would of loved see steam engines powering along, nice to hear from you, thanks Pat
another excellent video of information cheers Pat, really enjoying these.
Thanks Graham, great place to explore, such a variety of different construction, thanks Pat
As a fellow explorer and train lover, loving your videos.
Yes great way of spending your spare time, thanks for watching much appreciated Pat
Excellent tunnel outing...fantastic engineering
Really nice tunnel this, such a lot of history and a magnificent price of Victorian Engineering. All the best for 2019 Pat
Just found your channel great pictures inside with the torch painting never seen that before. Looking forward to catching up with the rest of your videos on your channel well done.
David Howard Thanks David, started out mostly wild camping but like to vary the vidios, hence the exploring, great places to go in poor weather and a different but interesting type of photography. The light painting certainly provides some great photos, I amazed myself with the detail they provided, all the best Pat
Very interesting, great photography.
Hi yes the light painting certainly gives some great detailed photographs, thanks Pat
Thanks for a fascinating video
Glad you enjoyed it thanks Pat
Thanks, thoroughly enjoyed
Amazing place to explore, thanks for watching Pat
I would re-install a railway line and have it running around the estate or at least some type of line. Then get hold of steam locomotive and so on. Great for tourists and visitors to get a ride and history lesson. Also talk about bragging rights, to have your own steam locomotive, railway line and real proper old tunnel to run the train through. Great video with great pictures.
That would be a amazing idea, would be fantastic to see a steam loco on that line again, thanks Pat
Pat ,Thanks for the tunnel adventure. I enjoyed every second of your video . Great photography . I will be watching for more trips . . Dan , from Canada out .
Hi Dan yes very impressive was this tunnel, hope to search out some others , all the best Pat
Thank you Pat, another great tour. The photography is excellent, the effects in that tunnel highlighting the brickwork was very well done I felt as if I was there with you.
BADOLDBIKER Hi yes this was a great explore absolutely massive inside Thier needed a lot of light to get the light painted photographs, thanks for watching Pat
That was an excellent watch, Pat. Thank you for sharing. I have never seen the shafts from above.
Always been interested in tunnel architecture and my Dad took me up to Haddon in 1970 and we walked in from the Bakewell end to shaft 5. I was scared to death!
As I say, brilliant piece of work. Well done.
Hi Ian once inside the tunnel it was the sheer size that got me, probably all that brickwork done by hand such a impressive piece of Victorian construction. the air shafts on the surface also interesting although a bit overgrown and forgotten in places, thanks for watching Pat
interesting video for sure. Thanks for sharing
Hi certainly was different to photograph and film, surprised me how well the photos worked out as the tunnel was pitch black in some sections, thanks Pat
very interesting Patrick good to see something different. The light painting looked fantastic.
Hi Mark, yes wanted to do a few different videos but will get round to another wild camp soon, the pictures surprised me on how well they worked out, a bit of trial and error to get a good shot, thanks again Mark, Pat
Those early bricklayers earned their money . only horses and hard work available. Great video and commentary.
Hi Peter a fine example of Victorian engineering all hand built as well and still in good condition 150 years later, all the best Pat
wow! you've succeeded in breathing fresh life into this tunnel and given it the opportunity to relive its vintage heritage, I'm sure the tunnel would have been grateful of it Pat, Such a shame they've been left but it certainly makes for great viewing for us and we thank you for that too! Looking forward to the next one :)
Yes certainly lit the place up and brought it back to life, just needed a steam train powering it's way through belching smoke and steam, we can all dream! Got a few more tunnels lined up for next year, all the best Pat
That was so interesting, thanks for posting Pat. I was in the New Forest at the weekend and discovered an old railway line. After a bit of research it was the Burley to Holmsley leg of the Castleman "Corkscrew"
Hi Mark, such a impressive sight all hidden from view, a lot of the old railways make interesting walks with interesting history as well, the Castleman Corkscrew sound a very interesting line, all the best Pat
Love the 'light painting'. I'm going to try that.
Hi Neil definitely find somewhere dark and have ago you will be amazed with the results, all the best Pat
Hi Pat, Just watched this with my dad, who fired steam trains on this line in the 1950's. He said they always went through this tunnel at speed. He calls the refuges the walls 'Man Holes'. Brought back some memories for him. Thanks.
Glad it brought back memories, what a experience your Dad must of have coming through tunnels like this, must of been amazing......all the best Pat
Very nice Pat cheers Steve ..
Thank you Patrick very interesting buddy.
DrTeno Guy yes a really amazing price of Victorian engineering, all hand built never to be done on that scale again, thanks Pat
Wow. Thanks for sharing. I'd love to explore this and get some images. Fantastic.
Although private this a amazing place, just be careful , thanks Pat
@@patrickdickinson6492 you're much braver than me. I don't think I'd dare risk having a look. Hence why I subscribe to your channel. Love the way you film it all with you walking off in the tunnels. You must cover some distance having to go back to get the camera after each time. I appreciate the extra effort you go to. I've noticed a very deep shaft at Black Rock Cromford. Do you know if this is just a well, or does it lead somewhere ? Always been curious about it. Right next to a little ruin.
Thanks for the video.
Your very welcome, thanks Pat
I love the light with slow shutter speed trick. awesome info, Peace
Hi thanks for comments, very pleased with results hope to do some more light painting in future videos all the best Pat
Very interesting Pat as always thank you 😊
Thanks David, great place to spend a day thanks Pat
Hi Patrick, thanks for a very interesting video. I'm amazed at how well your photographs came out, that light painting seems to be a very effective technique.
Hi the tunnel was massive inside and I new a flash would not light it up, I had read about light painting but never had opportunity to try it so this was the ideal location and yes the photos worked out better than I expected, thanks for watching Pat
That was a great clip to watch.
Hi Robert it was a massive tunnel and took 2 minutes exposure to get a decent photograph with the light painting, thanks for watching Pat
Very interesting. I have visited Haddon Hall and a bit of the estate, many times, it is one of my favourite places...but I never visited the tunnel. knew of its existence. Nice one.
Hi Mark,it's well hidden, above the house on a overgrown area, a hidden gem, thanks Pat
I luckily got to walk through Catesby tunnel just before it was turned into an test centre for automobiles! An absolute behemoth! I wish it was still used for trains but am still glad it’s being turned into something and being used. Great vid mate 👍
Yes a lot of these tunnels could've utilised for other things rather than just leaving them to deteriorate, interesting comments thanks Pat
I cannot believe ive still not done a video on haddon tunnel. But still by far this is my most favourite Patrick Dickinson video.
Hi Richie, yes a great place to spend a day, pity it's all hidden away and forgotten, thanks Pat
@@patrickdickinson6492 at one end it its under a bit of water at moment had a look the other day.
@@patrickdickinson6492 Mentioned you in my video and description , if not ok i can remove. ua-cam.com/video/S7J7VRVtayc/v-deo.html
Saw it on Julia Bradburys programme and always thought the metal door was always locked but will now be checking it out. Great film and info well done Sir !
Hi Mick must admit I had not seen it Julie, s railway walks. I always thought door was locked but looking at other explores it must of been open for well over 5 years. It did cross my mind what would I do if someone decided to lock it while I was in the tunnel but the door is strained and does not line up with the locking hasp so should be OK once in. Well worth a visit, all the best Pat
Yes will deffo be giving this a visit somepoint very soon but will not get photo's anywhere as good as yours. Well done again and looking forward to more films its great to get away on the moors and I too am very lucky to be only 40mins from the Peak District. I was up on Winn Hill 2 weeks back and had the entire mountain to myself Fantastic !
mick baker
I think that program was further up the line and the tunnel was at Monsal Head. That tunnel is now fully open and certainly worth a look if you haven't already been.
Hi Mick (and pat, of course). great video. Did you have a look at whether it was still accessible? I might take a crafty look next time I'm down "home".
Great video Pat. Really interesting and great detail
Hi Paul glad you enjoyed the video really interesting place, thanks again Pat
Excellent video. After watching it I also viewed "A Railway Walk, Rowsley to Haddon" and was surprised by how much the access/undergrowth seemed to have changed (plus by that point I knew what to expect at the end of the other vid). Your photographs were superb.
Al Terego Hi interesting to compare my visit was early spring so would look different in summer when all vegetation growing and in leaf, the light painting really produces excellent photos, thanks Pat
Cool History - Thanks for posting
Abandoned Railways Canada Hi and glad you liked a bit of Victorian Engineering at its best, thanks for watching Pat
I recently subscribed to your channel and have been enjoying it very much. It's amazing these places you go exploring are accessible to the public. Here in the US there are No Trespassing signs everywhere. Also, I really admire the brickwork those men did so long ago. When I was younger I would admire the brick streets in my hometown and think how sad it is that so many beautiful brick streets have been paved over.
Appalachian Snapshot Hi and nice to hear from you, most of the places I explore although no signs are probably private, I just don't,t ask because I know what the answer would be. The Haddon Hall railway tunnel is on a private estate and definetly no public access, but I couldn't miss all that fantastic workmanship, thanks for your comments and interest, Pat
Excellent video, I'm really impressed by the video you took but also the stills with the light painting as you showed us. Good eye catching that mile marker too. If this tunnel is ever destroyed or filled in, get back in there and nick that thing! Thanks a lot for this cool video.
Thanks James, the light painting really shows the detail of the tunnel construction, to think the men that built it never saw it like this, all the best Pat
Really enjoyed that Patrick 👍
Martin Zero Hi Martin yes great spot for a couple of hours strolling in a amazing bit of Victoria Engineering, access means a couple of miles walk then getting in at either end is straight forward, definetly recommend it, Pat
Brilliant, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it thanks Pat
lovely tunnel this. Luv ya Sir, you are so awesome. keep it up and go for a TV show.
Yes this tunnel is beautifully constructed, pity it's private and all locked up, Pat
Great vlog.amazing pics you took.look FWD to more tunnels
Have a few more tunnels to explore in next year but will also be wild camping and train journeys as well, thanks Pat
@@patrickdickinson6492 look forward to them all 😊
Thanks for a fascinating video. Interesting background on the tunnel. Light painting technique fascinating. I have heard of plans to open the tunnel to extend the Monsal trail, with an eventual plan to make a full circular route. But like you say, we'll have to wait and see.
Hi I had read about opening it up similar to the tunnels on the Monsal trail, would provide the missing link, glad I explored it in its original state, thanks Pat
This is brilliant! A job well done!
Ricardo Suarez thanks for that it is a amazing place waiting to be explored, Pat
Ricardo Suare
Thanks Patrick! Great video, really interesting. Appreciated the details on painting by light. I had read about it in photo mags but seeing it in action is better. Great stuff, keep 'em coming!
Hi Terry similar I had read about it but never tried it so I thought a big dark tunnel like Haddon would be a great place to try and very pleased with photos, will be trying it again in the future,all the best Pat
You possibly saw the technique being used with off-camera flash being used as the light source for painting? I have no idea which would be better. The exposure and detail in your shots are superb though. Maybe a photo mag would use them? Cheers,
Terry
Thanks Terry had ,nt thought of that may give it a bit more practice so as to get That perfect Shot, thanks anyway Pat
Very nice, liked the pics!
hi and thanks for comments, really amazing place, thanks Pat
Excellent stuff Pat. Thanks for taking us along. Anything remotely connected to trains is fine in my book. ;o) Also, camping and beer.
ATB Sir.
Hi, camping beer and trains can, t think of anything better to do with my time and they all can be done on one trip together, thanks for comments all the best Pat
Once again thank you mate for a great vid!
GateKommand thanks for that, it was massive inside such a magnificent price of Victorian Engineering thanks for comments Pat
Hey man thanks for the informative video, cool tunnel walk
DumpedClutch Hi and thanks amazing inside ,so big took a lot of light to get photos, thanks for watching , Pat
Hi Patrick thanks for taking the time to film that found that quite intresting.
Hi was certainly interesting to film using the light painting, so surprised when I looked at photos as it was pitch black in most of the tunnel, thanks for watching Pat
Really good video, very interesting.
very interesting Pat - love the light painting - and thanks for the explanation of Light Painting. I know you're taking a break for awhile but just to let you know am following your work and it'll be good to have you back when you are ready!
Many thanks....the light painting does reveal such detail, amazes me when I bring the photo up on the computure, each time I,am so suprised at what it reveals......enjoying my break, see you later in the year.....thanks Pat
Great camera work I love anything to do with the old railway systems those lads new how to build
The photographs show the effort and skill that must of gone into building a massive structure like this over 1000 yds long, all hidden from view, thanks Pat
Hi patrick, realy enjoyed that video something diffrent plus the light painting, wow, I keep looking out for your next walks wild camps or whatever, allways enjoyable, keep up the good work.
Hi Les thought I would do something a bit different, still will be doing wild camps but wanted a different routine from walk,camp,cook etc, I have walked past this tunnel many times and always wanted to explore it, thanks for watching Pat
Very interesting video i love RR tunnels thanks.
cctn2012 An amazing tunnell,hidden away and forgotten,will worth exploring thanks for wathing Pat
