The Devonshire Tunnel is 408 m long and the Combe Down Tunnel is 1672 m long. Both tunnels are reported as well lit, well surfaced and converted to a shared use path for runners, walkers and cyclists following reopening in April 2013 after being closed in 1966 and then restored through work by the Two Tunnels Group and Sustrans.
