To access Browney you need to drive/ walk down a lane called River View off the B6300 between A167 at Croxdale and A690 Brandon, and parking is available next to the access gate onto the ECML.

Beware: When turning into the lane as it's width is for one vehicle only and Water Tankers and site traffic use this lane to access the water works.

The nearest train station is Durham about 3-4 miles north.
Local buses run from Durham bus station towards Brancepeth and Crook. If in doubt ask at the travel centre in Durham Bus station about which bus will take you close to Browney Lane.

There are no facilities available at this rural location. There is no shelter, open to the elements, especially the wind as on top of a hill.
The nearest shops are in Browney/ Brandon about half a mile - 1 mile away.

North East Gen

The only view available is on the west side of the line.
Early sightings of trains are available from the south by looking across onto Croxdale Viaduct, and from the north is a good length of straight. Of note trains have a climb off Croxdale Viaduct round a bend towards Durham.
