Dist:0.8km<br/>County Durham is riddled with old railway lines which mostly carried coal and quarry traffic. This footpath follows a long-abandoned railway branch line to High Moorsley Quarry [[NZ3345]]. Further down the slope to the left was another line, which linked the existing goods line at Sherburn to another, abandoned, line at Murton.
