Causey Arch

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.

Fallen Trees on Forest Path

Highlight • Natural

I would imagine this cut up tree will stay where it is for a while, dated 18/01/2024. The track is not really restricted as you can pass the tree to the left of it or where it is cut through the middle
