East of Ponteland and north of Newcastle Airport is an extensive area of low-lying marshy land (Prestwick Carr). The road crossing it is part of National Cycle Network route 10 (Reiver's Route); despite it being tarmac, it is not recommended for motors as coal mining subsidence has resulted in a very fragmented surface.
