The Derwent Walk is a multi-user path for walkers, cyclists and horse-riders which follows the line of the old railway between Consett and the Tyne at Swalwell. It forms part of National Cycle Network route 14 which pursues a zigzag course across county Durham from Darlington to Hartlepool, Durham, Consett and Swalwell. It offers cyclists following the C2C an alternative route to finish at the sea at Tynemouth. At this point the path, which runs alongside the main A694 for a short way through Rowland's Gill village diverges into a linear country park known as Derwent Walk Country Park and Derwenthaugh Country Park.
