A FORMER railway track is being converted into a right of way for horses, bikes and walkers.
The Faverdale Black Path, in Darlington, which runs through the Faverdale Industrial Estate, is becoming part of the National Cycle Network in a £95,000 scheme.
The path is being resurfaced, with funding for the work provided by Darlington Borough Council.
It now comprises a separate public footpath and bridleway.
Kissing gates and horse stiles are also being installed to keep motorbike riders out.
