The Lanchester Valley Railway was a railway line developed by the North Eastern Railway to run between Durham and Consett, County Durham, England. Extending 12 miles (19 km) along the valley of the River Browney, it was opened on 1 September 1862. It was closed in 1966 and has since been redeveloped into a shared-use path.
