County Durham is riddled with old railway lines which mostly carried coal and quarry traffic. This footpath follows a long-abandoned railway branch line to High Moorsley Quarry Image Further down the slope to the left was another line, which linked the existing goods line at Sherburn to another, abandoned, line at Murton.
