Watling Woods bench, Leadgate
A wood carving and polishing business has been established in a garden adjoining the Consett and Sunderland railway path which also carries the world famous C2C cycle route. Inscriptions on the bench read:
"Joe and Mark helped to make me
This seat was made by some of us for all of us
Can you help?
Art-e-factory and care-takers
Working together with anyone who cares
Carve the bark and polish the spot
Have a go - try - but leave me better than you found me!"

Centre of Leadgate village
This is a view looking west along St Ives Road to the crossroads with the B6309 at the centre of the village. The large black and white building was until recently the Coach and Horses pub. It is now a dog grooming parlour, which has saved the building in its original appearance and given it a needed facelift.
