The world-famous C2C cycle route has here left the line of the old Consett and Sunderland railway. The Leamside Line is the mothballed railway which runs parallel to the East Coast Main Line between Ferryhill and Newcastle. The trackbed has been preserved against possible re-opening although the track has been removed.
