Railway path off Offerton Lane
The old railway from Sunderland to Penshaw forms a useful cycle route. At this point it diverges from Offerton Lane. The metal tubes set at an angle are designed to stop motor bikes, but are also an obstacle to pedal cycles with long handlebars. The low rail adjoining is a horse stile which horses can step over but which also should prove a deterrent to motor bikes.
