This public bridleway links Murton village with West Monkseaton and for the first 300 metres follows the course of Well Lane. The first Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area, published in 1865, shows the existence of 'Murton Well' approximately two-thirds of the way down Well Lane but, by the time of the publication of the 1920 map, reference to the well had disappeared.
