A black hole ...

The approach to the south portal of Tidenham tunnel, on the former Wye Valley Railway. Tucked away down a narrow Gloucestershire lane, this south portal has recently had the trackbed cleared and trees felled by the road bridge. The portal is as secure as it looks – razor wire, anti-climb grease and, worst of all, a puddle!! There was a plan once to reopen this tunnel and the old line as far as Tintern as a cyclepaff but this appears to have come to nothing after the council couldn't agree on the planning app!
