NZ5522 : Closure of the Black Path

taken 7 years ago, near to Grangetown, Redcar And Cleveland, England

Closure of the Black Path
Closure of the Black Path
The Black Path follows the railway for much of the distance between Middlesbrough and Redcar. For the sake of completeness it has been designated as part of both the Teesdale Way and more recently the England Coast Path. However, the setting of the path through the industrial and post-industrial landscape of lower Tees-side must surely make it the least attractive section of any National Trail.

The path has been closed since since November 2015 during the decommissioning of the old Sahaviriya Steel Industries (SSI) site. A diversion along some very dreary roads through the industrial estates has been designated, but adds 2 km to the length of the route.

Industrial pipelines run alongside the path.
