The two tunnels cycle path towards Midford and Wellow is accessed from the end of the road.
The amenities of the city centre offer a wonderful array of chain and independent retail outlets, many fine restaurants, cafés and wine bars along with a number of cultural activities including a world-famous international music and literary festival, the Theatre Royal, a selection of museums and art galleries and the attractions at The Roman Baths and Pump Rooms.
