The Wylam Waggonway was built in 1748 by John Blackett to carry coal from the Wylam Colliery over a five-mile (approximately eight-kilometre) route to the staithes at Lemington on the River Tyne. Initially using wooden rails and oxen for traction, it was fitted with iron plate rails in 1808 and from 1813 housed the first commercial steam locomotives Puffing Billy and Wylam Dilly. It fell into disuse after the colliery closed around 1868, became part of the Scotswood, Newburn & Wylam Railway in 1875 and now serves largely as a walking and cycle path within the Tyne Riverside Country Park.

This path is a well maintained cycle / walking track. It's got great views towards the Tyne and is largely flat - so makes for some easy riding.
