The Two Tunnels Greenway is a partnership between
Bath walking and cycling networkThis map has been developed to help you travel around Bath and the surrounding area by foot, bike and public transport. Each grid on the map overleaf represents an average of 10 minutes walk or four minutes cycle ride, showing just how quick it is to get around under your own steam. However, do allow additional time for the occasional hill.
Two new bridges across Millmead Road and Monksdale Road, two tunnels that run 100m under the surrounding hills, and a spectacular viaduct, transport users from close to the city centre into the surrounding countryside and back again. Or why not take the lane from Tucking Mill to Dundas Viaduct to join the canal path back to Bath, a scenic 13 mile circular tour.
This map also shows bus stops to help you link into journeys where you need to travel further afield.
Two Tunnels Greenway
The Two Tunnels Greenway This virtually flat path connects Bath to the Midford Valley, following the track-bed of the former Somerset and Dorset Railway. It incorporates the Devonshire Tunnel and Combe Down Tunnel; the longest walking and cycling tunnel in Britain.
The route links with the Colliers Way at Midford to Wellow, Radstock and Frome in the south, the Bristol to Bath Railway Path in the west, and the Kennet and Avon canal path east to Bradford-on-Avon and Devizes.
On your way through the Combe Down Tunnel you’ll experience Passage by United Visual Artists, an extraordinary audio-visual installation where the artwork is constructed as you travel.
This new route is just part of Sustrans’ UK-wide project to extend the National Cycle Network into the heart of thousands of communities across the UK.
The community based Two Tunnels Group and local Sustrans volunteers are working to further improve the path with new facilities, plants and artwork.
