The Consett and Sunderland railway path is part of the famous C2C cycle route, National Cycle Network route 7. The main A693 road can be seen to the left. At this point, the line of the Stanhope and Tyne railway has been severed by the Annfield Plain bypass (constructed 1985). The path here diverts from the original line of the railway to pass through Greencroft Industrial Estate.
