Complementary Information:The Two Tunnels Greenway is a new route that connects the city of Bath to the village of Midford and the countryside to the south. The route is built on a disused railway line, and passes through the UK’s longest walking and cycling tunnel Combe Down Tunnel, which is an attraction itself, with light and sound art installation. As well as being a route for commuting and leisure, the greenway also creates a linear green open space, right in the city centre.
