Dist:0.2km north<br/>Trackbed of the old railway which once ran from Haltwhistle to Alston http://www.visitcumbria.com/pen/haltalst.htm http://www.railbrit.co.uk/Alston_Branch/frame.htm. Built in 1846, the line was recommended for closure by Beeching but was reprieved because there was no adequate road access to Alston in the worst of winter weather. The line was eventually closed in 1976. Much of the line now forms part of the South Tyne Trail for walkers and cyclists http://www.northpennines.org.uk/index.cfm?articleid=5187. The Trail is also followed some of the way by the Pennine Cycleway, route 68 of the National Cycle Network http://www.cycle-routes.org/penninecycleway/.
