Not easy to access with a bike as reaching it involves either going down a set of steep steps or walking down a long ramp and then several hundred metres' along the promenade.

According to Greek myths, Triton was the son of Poseidon – both sea gods. This sculpture was commissioned in 1850 and is now a listed structure. The Bath stone it's made out of has been restored but has weathered again thanks to the continuous onslaught of the elements.
