Dist:0.5km<br/>The Great North Forest is a long term government-backed project (inaugurated in 1990) to restore and revitalise the countryside round the towns of the north-east. http://www.necf.org.uk/index.php?pageId=8 The Great North Forest Trail is a 105Km circular trail which links up many parts of this geographically fragmented scheme. This section runs on what was probably the line of an old railway. Note the cycle "A" frame access control and the very low gate which horses can step over but which hopefully present an insuperable obstacle to motor bikes.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The W2W http://www.cyclingw2w.info/ cycle route is a 241 Km cycle route which runs from Walney Island (Barrow-in-Furness) to the Wear (Sunderland) as an alternative crossing of the north Pennines to the world-famous C2C. http://www.c2c-guide.co.uk/ Over the section illustrated here between Pittington and Hetton-le-Hole it follows the line of one of the many disused mineral railways in County Durham.
