This path stretches from Monkseaton in the south to The Avenue near Seaton Delaval Hall to the north and for most of the way it follows the course of the old Avenue Branch of the Blyth & Tyne Railway. This railway was opened on 31 October 1860 and ran between Hartley (New Hartley) to the north and Whitley Junction (Monkseaton) to the south. At this point the path is following a 1915 re-alignment of the track which was built so as to terminate the line at the new 1915 completed Monkseaton Station.
