The Clarence Railway was constructed 1833-1837 to link the iron ore mines at Shildon to Port Clarence, Middlesbrough https://sites.google.com/site/waggonways/railways-durham. This length of the abandoned line here between Spennymoor and Ferryhill is followed for a short way by a public footpath. Between Spennymoor and Bishop Auckland, the line of the railway is followed by the Auckland Way, a foot- and cycle-path.
