Carved pole by the Lanchester Valley Railway Path
This carved pole features a couple of creepy-crawlies and stands beside the Lanchester Valley Railway Path (National Cycle Network, route 14). This path, one of many railway paths in County Durham, follows the line of an old railway from Consett to Durham. The railway was opened in 1862, closed to passengers in 1939 and finally closed in 1965.

The mules of Marius
This engraved stone stands beside the Lanchester Valley Walk at the point where it crosses the B6296, near the centre of the village. It is a very accurate portrait of a 1st or 2nd century Roman legionary in full marching order. Looking at all the kit he's carrying, you can see how they acquired the mule nickname. Marius was a general who reformed the Roman army in the 1st century BC to make it a more professional force. Among other things he made the soldiers carry much of their gear instead of having a large baggage train, which slowed their mobility.
