Walking from Aylesford via Eccles, the village just visible in the southwest of the map, I arrive at the junction and turn left towards Burham.
Immediately the road turns quite steeply down a hill and round a sharp bend. According to the map the path that leads to the tunnel entrance is somewhere around here, but there are no accessible paths from the road opposite Little Culand, Culand Farm and Petts Farm...

You may wish to know that the tunnel is on private land and is a bat sanctuary and it is illegal to disturb bats. So if you must trespass just for idle curiosity then so be it, but please do not take pictures in the tunnel as it may disturb the bats.
ReplyDeleteOK thanks for the tip on the bats - if you follow our intrepid explorer's account you will see he never finds the tunnel entrance anyway.
ReplyDeleteindeed it was impenetrable, the bats remained undisturbed
ReplyDeleteBlind switchboard operator at the Oakwood Hospital Tom Harber (now long since deceased) would have found this interesting as I understand he developed a bat detector in order to make audible the normally inaudible sound of bat calls.
