Toucan crossing on Durham Road, Blackhill
This toucan crossing which allows cyclists as well as pedestrians to cross the busy, steep Durham Road, carries National Cycle Network route 14 which links Gateshead via the Derwent Path to NCN route 7 (Consett and Sunderland) at Lydgett's Junction, a short way to the south and also continues along the Lanchester Valley Path towards Durham.

Cycleway alongside Queen's Road, Blackhill
There is a very broad verge on the east side of Queens Road which embraces the old trackbed of the Derwent Valley Railway. Constructed in 1867 and running from Swalwell on the River Tyne up to Consett, the line finally closed in 1963. The footway on the line of the old railway has been converted into a cycleway and forms part of National Cycle Network route 14 which follows a zigzag course from South Shields via Gateshead, Consett, Durham, Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees to finish at Darlington.

Benfieldside Cemetery
Benfieldside Cemetery is a large burial ground in Consett, north of the town centre. The southern end of it is sloping and almost wooded with older gravestones but the ground seen here, further north, is flatter, more open and has later graves. The two nearest gravestones are of course of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
