Given Cumberland Basin sits within the West side of Spike Island a more in-depth analysis was conducted.

This portion of the island sits in between an area densely populated by residential buildings (Hot Wells) to the North; and Ashton Court a country park comprising 850 acres of woodlands and grasslands to the West. This creates a very interesting juxtaposition between the two areas which offers an under appreciated view (photo 3 on page 9).
