More signage for Bath's green spaces

Maintaining an overall consistency of design and materials, while offering some variances at different locations.

New interpretation panels have just been installed on the steep slopes of Beechen Cliff above the City of Bath. The slopes which were once open ground, provided some of the most stunning historical views of the city. They are now covered in Woodland except in one or two places. One of these is Magdalen Gardens, location for one of the panels. There are no views from the second panel located nearby in the woodland. Both are linked by pedestrian paths and to the higher viewpoint at Alexandra Park, which enjoys one of the finest views of a city anywhere in the world.

The general appearance of the panels is consistent with those installed at Parade Gardens in the centre of Bath earlier this year. We are creating a family of signs, but with the client's approval, we are tweaking the design of the supports at each location to add some variety.

The arc of the front legs at Beechen Cliff is exactly the same as the the Parade Gardens design (see below).

An additional wall mounted panel close to the Magdalen Gardens one, provides a map of the whole Beechen Cliff and Alexandra Park area. We are now looking at interpretation for the Alexandra Park viewpoint itself to complete the project for this site.
