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!

It's great fun to cycle though a tunnel, though I've not seen them in this one has bats to keep you company. Because of the bats cycle lights should be switched off, their are lights inside the tunnel, quite dim, but good enough to see.
