Description:
West of The Grange (HER 8167) is the north footpath which linked Monkton village (HER 152) to Bede's Well (HER 178). It originally crossed open fields behind the settlement, later a slag heap (HER 8279). The footpath leaves Monkton Lane past high brick and stone boundary walls and a close-boarded fence then enters Campbell Park (HER 8126). The path is separated from Grange Farm's farmyard (HER 8494) by brick boundary walls, stone farm buildings and a wedge of young trees.
