Channel Tunnel: Sea
built 629 days ago
Both countries agreed to work together on a joint tunnel scheme to bring them closer together. With government approval, tunnel companies were set up to do the first serious scientific exploration of the geology - to find out just what rocks lay under the sea bed between Dover and Calais....
In reaction, British and French officials have continually checked the security system protecting the 31-mile tunnel. The French warn the threat level remains high. British security forces will remain on high alert throughout the holiday season.

The tunnel consists of 3 interconnected tubes: 1 rail track each way plus 1 service tunnel. Its length is 31 miles, of which 23 miles are underwater. Its average depth is 150 feet under the seabed.
Just 10 minutes drive from the Channel Tunnel and only 7 miles from Dover and the many Cross Channel services that are offered by SeaFrance, PAOSL and the Cruise Terminal. To check prices, reviews and book online click here.
