Here's something else we did yesterday, while we were at the Coalport China Museum. It is worth taking a few minutes and the short walk along the Shropshire canal to the
Tar Tunnel.
You get to put on a safety helmet and go underground. If you are any taller than my lot, you will need to stoop, though - Big Miss is just about maximum height.
As you walk along the tunnel you can see the tar oozing out between the bricks. Watch where you put your feet and don't let your clothes brush the walls! About 50m into the hillside, you will find a couple of tar pools off to the side of the tunnel. You really do need to stoop down to see them, though.
We came back out and I inspected clothes and footwear. Phew! No tar stains. Otherwise we would have been in trouble!
