This footpath which bisects the park lies over a short stretch of the bygone Surtees’ Line of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. As the path disappears into the mist, and about to join Main Street, the gradient rises to a challenging 1-in-20. In the past that ascent would have been very hard work for the primitive locomotives and engine-drivers alike.
