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.

Here a crumbling masonry wall enclosing an industrial site is being restrained by iron sheeting. The whole structure looks liable to imminent catastrophic collapse.
