NZ1351 : Leadgate Maze viewing platform
taken 10 years ago, near to Leadgate, County Durham, England
Leadgate Maze viewing platform
The Consett and Sunderland path (part of the famous C2C cycle route, National Cycle Network route 7) follows the line of an old railway from Stanhope Moor down to Washington. At this point the embankment is cut by road construction around the roundabout at the eastern end of the Leadgate By-pass (A692) ("Jolly Drovers" roundabout).
The structure at the end of the embankment is supposed to be a "viewing point" for the Leadgate Maze
NZ1352 : The Jolly Drovers Maze at Leadgate on the other side of the roundabout. Unfortunately, it no longer serves this purpose as the view has been very effectively blocked by a row of fast-growing leylandii trees which have been planted along the south side of the carpark of the "Jolly Drovers".
