In November 2007 Sustrans secured £50 million of Big Lottery funding for 79 projects across the UK, collectively known as ‘Connect2’.

£1 million was allocated to the Two Tunnels Project in Bath.

As its contribution to the Sustrans Connect2 celebrations for 2009, Wessex Water (the current owner of Combe Down Tunnel) has kindly allowed the Two Tunnels Group to hold a fourth open day on Saturday 27 June 2009, during which members of the public are invited to walk through the mile-long tunnel before it is transformed to its new role. Everyone is welcome.

Please take this opportunity to walk through the tunnel. If you can make it please go to http://www.twotunnels.org.uk/combe_down_27_6_09.htm to book your preferred time slot.
