Mount Pleasant Tunnel, sometimes referred to as Burlish Tunnel, runs through a sandstone ridge on the Stourport Branch between Stourport and Bewdley, roughly one mile north of Burlish Halt. It is 124 yards long, with moulded stone archivolts at each end.[1]

The two portals of the tunnel are included in the Wyre Forest District Council Local Heritage List. Item SVR021A, the South Portal (Stourport end) is described as "Brick lined but some rock lining to N end. Modern brick revetment on E side." Item SVR021*, the North Portal (Bewdley end) is described as "Brick lined but some rock lining to N end".
