This footbridge stands close to the 'Normal Tide Level (NTL)', and at the cross-roads of three public footpaths. The bridge bears the black and white disc of the 'Tyne & Wear Heritage Way', an 80 mile route taking in the rich historic and industrial heritage of the area. The way is broken down into nine convenient sections that can be walked at any time, and in any order. In the background is a pipe bridge, carrying sewerage sludge, which has been a long-time feature of this part of the dene.
