The Two Tunnels Greenway is a proposed shared use path in Bath, Somerset, England.[1]

Route

The route will follow a disused railway trackbed through the Bath suburb of Oldfield Park through Devonshire and Combe Down Tunnels - previously part of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. The new route will link Bath and the National Cycle Route 24, 2.5 miles (4 km) south of the city.

History

NCN24, crossing Midford viaduct, at the south end of the 'Two Tunnels' route, opened in 2005. Sustainable transport charity Sustrans has met with success with its bid for National Lottery funding to start construction of the route.[1] A 'Two Tunnels Steering Group' has been established, consisting of the Two Tunnels group, Bath and North East Somerset Council and Sustrans, to ensure the route's successful development.[2]
