Bath's Two Tunnels Greenway cycle path opens [BBC News]
Date: 06/04/2013
A £4m cycle and walking path with the longest cycling tunnel in Britain has opened with a mass cycle ride.
The Two Tunnels Greenway route opens up two former railway tunnels nearly 50 years after they closed.
Almost 2,000 people attended the mass cycle to mark the opening of the route which runs from Bath to Midford.
The path goes through Linear Park, on through the disused Devonshire and Combe Down railway tunnels, and over the Tucking Mill Viaduct.
At over a mile long, the Combe Down tunnel will be the longest cycling tunnel in Britain and will feature an interactive light and sound installation.
