Trail of Discovery

A new public walk and cycling path tracing the original 26-mile-route of the Stockton & Darlington Railway between Witton Park and Stockton can be enjoyed from May. Families and railway enthusiasts can wander or cycle along the marked path and will find:

– Important heritage buildings, including Heighington and Aycliffe Railway Station, the world’s first train platform, and Skerne Bridge, the oldest railway bridge in continuous use

– A series of new murals and artworks (locations TBC)

– A new interactive game created by Teesside University where players can collect tokens to build locomotives

This event forms part of the wider S&DR200 Railway Celebrations, for more events see here
