This path, one of many railway paths in County Durham, follows the line of an old railway from Crook to Durham. The railway was opened in 1858, closed to passengers in 1951 and finally closed in 1964. The bridge carries the road to New Brancepeth, and there is a steep path down from the road to the railway path. Contrast with the summer view at Image
