Tintern is a village in the Wye Valley on the West Bank of the River Wye about 5 miles north of Chepstow.

This view of the village is from the Devil's Pulpit.

For 300 years numerous works and forges along the Angidy Valley dominated the village and surrounding communities. A branch from the Wye Valley Railway to the Lower Wireworks by way of the bridge in this view (the 'Wireworks Bridge') was completed in 1875.

The Wye Valley Railway ran for nearly 15 miles along the Lower Wye Valley between the towns of Chepstow and Monmouth and was first opened on 1 November 1876. The railway was finally closed in 1990 and this shows one of the old tunnels. This is not open to the public but further south is Tidenham Tunnel through which the Wye Valley Greenway (Public Right of Way) passes.

Tidenham Tunnel through which the Wye Valley Greenway (Public Right of Way) passes. To protect the resident bat population, Tidenham Tunnel has limited opening times and is only open during the daytime between 1st April to 30th September. The low level lighting in the tunnel is the brightest permitted by the Natural England Bat Licence. Access is for walkers and cyclists only.

Tintern may have a number of different areas of interest but there is one thing that Tintern is famous for and that is the ruins of Tintern Abbey seen here from the Devil's Pulpit viewpoint.

Tintern Abbey is in the Care of CADW and has its own car park.
