The bridleway from Rise Carr to Faverdale, passes between Faverdale Industrial Estate to the north and residential areas of north Darlington to the south. A triangle and long strip of secondary woodland acts to some as extent as a barrier to the noise of the former and provide a habitat for wildlife, despite the urban decay just beyond the trees. This pond, heavily choked with duckweed, was seething with tadpoles, whilst there was much birdsong as the local species no doubt found plenty of invertebrates to eat among the decaying wood.
