The 13 km Deerness Valley Railway Path is one of a number of railway paths in county Durham. This path runs from Broom Park to Crook and is particularly attractive as a haven for nature http://www.durham.gov.uk/durhamcc/usp.nsf/pws/Durham+Wildlife+Sites+-+Deerness+Valley+Railway+Path. Unlike most railway paths, there is a significant length of this path which while following the railway's alignment does not stick to the railway's grade. The path is seen here crossing a private road.
