Looking south along Dartmouth Avenue from the bridge carrying the Two Tunnels Greenway over the road. The Greenway is the former trackbed of the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway which ran from Bath to Bournemouth. The heavily engineered railway closed in 1966. Part of the trackbed became a linear park whilst further south it was used as an informal footpath. A campaign to re-open the route as a shared-use path started in 2005 and the Two Tunnels Greenway opened in April, 2013.
