South Northumberland
Needing to go to Killingworth next week to collect a vehicle, was thinking of cycling there. I will be making my way to Ashington first (and know my way there), but would love any advice on a safeish quietish cycle friendly way to get from Ashington to Killingworth.

Done every section of this this route a few times, Almost all traffic free.

If your on a mountain bike you can get from blyth
To backworth on the abandoned railway lines from the coal industry and farmtrax and touching litterly a couple hundred metres (if that) of qiet tarmac rd
The abandoned railways are unsurfaced and really just well compacted mud/ballast/gravel they will criss cross in an indirect route making a longer journey bit very safe and throw in a ride along holywell dean /beck just west of seaton sluice
If you follow the suggested route the " avenue" railway next to seaton Delavel hall will cross over the Dene at a junction
Even tbe short rd from the coast to the Avenue can be avoided by using trax and railways nearby
