This 12 mile ride will take in the Locomotion Museum and the former buildings of Shildon before cycling on the former bed of the SDR up the Brussleton incline where the second stationary engine pulled the wagons from the Gaunless valley below at St.Helens. The route continues with spectacular scenery arriving at the world’s first station at Heighington. We will then traverse the industrial site of Newton Aycliffe and cycle along the SDR back to Shildon.
Cycle from Locomotion museum and see the SDR
