Start of the Derwent Walk
The Derwent Walk is a footpath and cycleway which follows the line of the old Derwent Valley Railway. Constructed in 1867 and running from Swalwell on the River Tyne up to Consett, the line finally closed in 1963. The path is 18km long and forms part of National Cycle Network route 14.
