The Coxlodge Waggonway ran nearly 8 km from Coxlodge to the west of Gosforth down to the River Tyne at Wallsend. In the early years of the 20th century it was used for a passenger tramway. Today about 2.5km have been converted into a foot- and cycleway running south-east from the North Gosforth roundabouts. At this point it crosses the busy Benton Road (A188) by means of a toucan crossing.
