Summary[edit]

Description
English: A section of the Severn & Wye Railway route from Chepstow to Tintern has been turned into a footpath & cycleway. Steeply graded as it leaves the Gloucester-Cardiff main line at Wye Valley Junction ground frame, it climbs steadily to clear the A48 road before levelling off towards the 1km long Tidenham Tunnel. Low level lighting is provided through the tunnel so as not to disturb resident bats. The line emerges high up above the river Wye on a ledge that follows the bends in the river to reach Tintern Quarry. Beyond that you can continue towards Tintern Abbey, but I turned back at that point due to time constraints. Amazing a lot of railway infrastructure, track, sleepers, signals and buffer stops, have simply been abandoned by the side of the footway.
