Box

It's particularly renowned for its Bath stone quarries, which shaped both the local economy and the distinctive buildings you'll see as you wander its streets. History runs deep here, from evidence of Roman occupation to the engineering marvel of the Box Tunnel. Designed by the visionary Isambard Kingdom Brunel in the 1840s, this impressive railway tunnel is a testament to Victorian ingenuity and remains a working part of the railway line.
