Route of Leamside Line passing beneath bridge
The Leamside Line was originally part of the Durham Junction Railway. Its use became progressively limited and was closed in the early 1990s but with the possibility of a reopening, the land over which it runs has been retained. At present, (early 2021), the stretch in view acts as a path and cycleway.

River Wear beside Ayton's Wood
The river has become tidal at this point, and appears to be flowing upstream as we follow the Weardale Way - which hugs the bank for several miles between Mount Pleasant and the outskirts of Sunderland.
It should be noted that the water has become pretty unpleasant looking, with several clumps of rubbish and debris floating around aimlessly.

Sewage works outfall into the River Wear
Looks to be quite a flow. The Wear is tidal at this point, and a bit 'scummy' looking in places.
