Rhondda Tunnel Society

Rhondda Tunnel Society Our aim is to re-open the longest disused railway tunnel in Wales as a cycle path & tourist attraction.

The Rhondda Tunnel Society's aim is to re-open the disused and buried Rhondda Tunnel to be utilised as a cycle and pedestrian route, re-connecting the communities of the Rhondda and Afan valleys. Being just 77 yards short of two miles long, the Rhondda Tunnel will be the second longest cycle tunnel in the World and this very fact will generate income from tourism, benefitting these two areas. Due

to the lack of industry and investment since the closure of coal mines both valleys have needed regeneration. The Society has already provided rewards for both communities by bringing volunteers together. New friendships are being made and people of all ages and backgrounds are being united to help with the running of the Society. Residents from both valleys are now seeing their community in a different light and working towards building its future and the common goal of re-opening the tunnel. When the tunnel is open, the cycle track which is planned to be a part of the Rhondda Fawr cycle route 882, will not only be for recreational purposes but it will provide an opportunity for both communities to commute long distances to work without the need for motor transport.
