This section of the Somerset and Dorset Railway, including the tunnels, is now incorporated into a shared-use walking and cycling path. Planning permission was approved in May 2008 and much of the funding came from a Sustrans Connect2 grant.

A tree on the mines
A Horse Chestnut tree grows on what used to be an entrance to the underground stone mines in Combe Down. Ralph Allen, a local man who was firstly a pioneer of the postal service later spent his fortunes in stone quarrying, and this feature marks the spot.

Firs Quarry
This is a photo of the main passage in Firs quarry. Quarrying on Combe Down started around the 1600's but became famous when Ralph Allen took over the quarries and built Prior Park (1740) as a showpiece. All the underground quarries here are being filled with concrete and a major part of Bath's history will be lost forever.
