The National Cycle Route 725, also known as the Great North Cycleway is a partially-complete regional cycling route that forms part of the National Cycle Network (NCN) in the United Kingdom.

The route is proposed to run around 70 km (43 miles) from Darlington to Blyth, in North East England. Although some parts of the route are shown on official NCN cycle maps [1] by the network managers Sustrans, and some parts of the route have been created and signposted by the local authorities that it passes through,[2][3] large sections of the route are missing or incomplete.
