Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking towards Newport, this is the point where the railway tunnel has been realigned. It is completely covered with officially commissioned murals and very little graffiti. It is now a pedestrian underpass.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This is the western end of the tunnel on the old railway line from Newport to Ryde. Its approach has been realigned but the tunnel still goes under the main road beyond and is now a pedestrian underpass with murals.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This new end of the tunnel had to be constructed at an angle to allow it to exit in the right place, the rest of the old railway tunnel remains as was.

Dist:0.3km<br/>A modern pub on the west bank of the River Medina just north of the ring road. This is virtually at high tide.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A quiet riverside spot on what must have been bustling in years gone by.

©Chris Downer

Dist:0.4km<br/>near the Newport ring road, but also convenient for the town centre. The River Medina in the middle, flowing north (right) towards Cowes. The propeller is from a sunken ship (I forgot to get the details on the plaque below).
