Deerness Valley Railway Path at Esh Winning
This path, one of many railway paths in County Durham, follows the line of an old railway from Durham to Crook. The railway was opened in 1858, closed to passengers in 1951 and finally closed in 1964. Here the path deviates slightly from the track of the railway to cross the River Deerness. There is another crossing of the river a short way further east.
