Causey Arch is the oldest surviving single span railway bridge in the world. It was built in 1727 and at the time was also the widest single span bridge. It used to carry the coal trains from a nearby colliery but that's long closed.

Perfect if you want to spend a couple of hours surrounded by nature and see some lovely views. Wear comfortable shoes, take some water. I hiked it in shorts but I think you’d be more comfortable wearing longer pants. Enjoy!

It can be zla lovely short varied walk, in nice place, if you pick the right weather & time of year but remember it's popular with dog walkers & the Tanfield railway runs a long the top. This can make for a good day out traveling the line & walking the alley to have a picnic or visit the cafe in the summer.
