Dist:0.5km<br/>A crossing of Burradon Road, B1505 near the centre of Burradon. To the left is Fryers Millennium Green, a urban renewal scheme which was approved by the Countryside Commission as a Millennium Green and was opened in 2001. Straight ahead is the line of the Burradon and Holywell Waggonway. This was one of many waggonways http://www.tynelives.org.uk/stephenson/wagmap2.htm linking former coalmines in North Tyneside with the coal staithes on the Tyne. Along with many other lengths of waggonway, this section has been converted into a cycle path in recent years and this section forms part of National Cycle Network, Regional Route 10 (the Reivers Cycle Route) http://www.cycle-n-sleep.co.uk/rinfo/map reivers.htm which links Tynemouth with Whitehaven via Kielder Forest and Carlisle. Ironwork street furniture, such as the barrier, is a common feature found on the restored paths.
