The Lanchester Valley Path (part of National Cycle Network route 14) follows the line of the old railway from Durham to Lydgetts Junction. One of the hazards of such paths is that the bridges, being a maintenance problem , have often been demolished, leaving steep gradients down and up to cross the road at grade.
