On the right hand side of the railway, Low Newton Junction Nature Reserve can be seen. It occupies the site of a former sand quarry which subsequently became a railway junction where a spur line off the East Coast Main Line led to the Leamside Line and on to Sunderland. The junction was closed in the 1960s. The Local Nature Reserve was established in 1994. http://www.durham.gov.uk/durhamcc/usp.nsf/pws/Durham+Wildlife+Sites+-+Low+Newton+Junction+Local+Nature+Reserve
