The Black Path
Image: © Oliver Dixon Taken: 6 Jul 2023
One of the numerous waggonways in North Tyneside which once served the coalmines of the area and have now been converted into a series of footpaths and bridleways. Here two parallel paths have been developed - to the left a tarmac path for cyclists, to the right a cinder path for horse riders. Not that the cyclist in view seems to take note of the distinction.
