Is https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/433841106/ really a tunnel?
-
Comment from ontheotherhand
Yes, it preserved the view from the big house, keeping the little people out of sight. Maintenance is an ongoing issue. Think there was (is?) a private path over the tunnel roof. Lots of detail to be added.

Comment from Richard
Wow, that's wonderful. Love that sort of little detail.

Thanks, was just strange to see a tunnel here, especially with nothing on top of it. Seems like this is it: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/139182

The whole thing is a bit odd but Whitinghame house was the home of odd people at the time, PM Arthur Balfour:
"Nothing matters very much and few things matter at all"

The roads around the village were moved away from the house as well.
I'll go back and check the position, GPS may not be easy with the "canyon" and tree coverage. -
Comment from GinaroZ
I've moved the "tunnel" and improved the road going by OS street view/old OS maps - don't think you'll have much joy with GPS there except in winter.
If there's still a path or road going across it might be better as a bridge. -
Comment from ontheotherhand
The move looks good, I've just visited and got GPS on top centre of tunnel where the tree cover is least: 55.95511, -2.62999
On top foliage is so dense you can cross tunnel without realising it, no obvious path remains on top. I followed the path down the NE hillside however where it is little changed although subsidence has claimed some of the path near the tunnel
Pics of each end and top :

Comment from GinaroZ
Thanks for surveying. Can you actually continue walking on that path and go across the road? If so I'm thinking it's probably better as a bridge.
Need to add the maxheight as well.
