    The tunnel is darker than the photo suggests and the wall lights mostly illuminate legs and wheels at best! It is a fun and great experience though. The Wye Vale Greenway ride is an easy 12 mile return journey from Chepstow to Tintern - Tintern has some decent pubs. Be aware of the tunnel’s strict opening and closing times, and dates. For example it shuts completely from the end of September for 6 months every year. The (less than) 30 bats are well catered for!
