(S/E) From Wingate Quarry car Park, follow the main bridle path in a north-easterly direction (you may explore the quarry now or on your return). The bridle path will cross straight ahead to the other side of the quarry.
(1) When you reach Green Lane, turn right and follow the lane.
Go through the gate, and continue walking along Green Lane. There are houses to your left and the remains of Old Wingate on your right although there is nothing much to see.
(2) When you reach the farm, follow Green Lane between the buildings on your right-hand side and at the far side of the farm turn right still on Green Lane. Continue to follow Green Lane, this will twist left and turn right until it reaches allotments and Wingate Grange Industrial Estate.
(3) Green Lane will end at the junction with Front Street (B1280). Wingate Parish Church will be directly in front of you, turn right passing the Wingate Grange pit disaster memorial on your right and walk along the street. Note the old crossing gates where the railway used to run next to the Railway Crossings pub. You are now following the Northern Saints' Trail.
(4) Follow the B1280 past the chemist and two doctor's surgeries, turning right after the second one (The Medical Centre) into Johnson's Street following the sign for Wingate Welfare Park. Either follow the direct path past the football pitch or follow the road around the allotments, these meet up again at the Infant's School.
(5) Walk past the school into Wingate Welfare Park, stay on the main wide bridle path through the centre of the park.
(6) At the far side of the park, turn right onto the tarmac footpath and continue on this path until you reach Deaf Hill/Trimdon Station, the footpath becomes a dirt track here. Follow this path straight ahead behind the houses.
(7) The footpath will end at Wingate Road, turn right and follow the footpath on the roadside back to Wingate Quarry Car Park. (S/E)
