The Buildings

The route of Monk’s Tunnel follows the elevated section of Weir Road above it. From this shot the route, and distance, the tunnel travels can be clearly seen as it approaches the north eastern corner of Cell 3.

When it reaches Cell 3, a door brings you into a north-south corridor. Take the corridor south, climb a flight of stairs, and you’re in Cell 3. Alternatively the route north takes you to Pyestock’s other tunnel.
