| Notes | Three railway tunnels beneath the Pennines between Woodhead in Derbyshire and Dunford Bridge in South Yorkshire. Constructed between 1845 and 1954 for the former Woodhead railway line, they carried rail traffic between Manchester and Sheffield until the route closed in 1981. The western portals mark the eastern end of the Longdendale Trail, while one tunnel remains in use for electricity transmission across the Pennines |
