THE Tiddenham Tunnel, on the Wye Valley Greenway, will see its opening times change later this week.

From August 16 the gates will close between 8am and 6pm and now, replacing the current hours, which have been in place from from May 1, and were 7am until 7pm.

The tunnel opened in 1876 as part of the railway line which ran between Chepstow and Monmouth and has become a popular tourist attraction for many people in the community.
