The path is not very clear on the ground, especially in autumn with leaf fall well under way. However, it is marked on Open Street Map and also on the 1899 OS map which oddly shows a footbridge crossing it about here. That map shows the path linking two (already closed) small collieries, and the 1879 map shows it to have been the route of an earlier tramway.
