The north-east of England was the cradle of railway building and technology, and boasts a number of early relics. Built in 1725, Causey Arch is the oldest single arch railway bridge in the whole world. Its span of 31 meters may seem unremarkable now, but at the time of its construction it was a huge (and hugely expensive) engineering feat. Today the arch merely carries a footpath, although the Tanfield Railway does halt nearby. There is a picnic area and parking close to the arch, which is a good access point to a network of country walks and footpaths.
