Pedestrian route in north Darlington

Whilst hardly a walker's paradise, there are a surprising number of places to while away an hour or two in Darlington whilst staying away from the bustle of traffic and industry. This photo was taken from just about the point where a public footpath from Houghton Le Skerne turns into something else - still clearly a public route (with street lighting), but no longer marked in green on the OS map. Down the slope to the left lies the River Skerne across which the residences on the right have a view to the Trading Estate, increasingly being masked as the trees leaf out on a sunny spring morning. The flowers here are mainly weedy dandelion and daisy, replacing the primulas of unmown river banks only a few hundred metres upstream.
