2. Access points Brandon – Bishop Auckland Walk Between Brandon and Bishop Auckland there are 8 access points where you can join the railway path. Some have car park space, like this one. The access point in this picture is the third one after Brandon – Brancepeth Station. As is indicated by the sign, there used to be a railway station here.

3. Keeping things peaceful Of course, we don’t mind if you want to run or jog to keep fit! To maintain the rural setting, we only locate signs, such as the “No Motorcycles” at the access points. Most paths permit horse riding, but at the entrance to some narrower paths you may see a sign a “No Horses” sign. Walking, cycling and horse riding only

4. Respecting others’ rights “A dog is a man’s best friend”, but … For many, taking their dogs, is part of the joy of walking. All we ask is that you pick up any waste that your dog deposits and keep your dog under proper control. To help, we have located a dog waste bin at every access point on the route.

5. Safety at access points Traffic warnings at access points These signs are on the road which crosses the Brandon to Bishop Auckland path at Brancepeth Station. We also install at each access point to encourage traffic to slow down.
