One of the most important junctions on the entire National Cycle Network. At this point, the northern arm of the C2C Cycle route http://www.c2c-guide.co.uk/ after traversing the Derwent valley crosses the Scotswood Road by footbridge to join Hadrian's Way which carries both Hadrian's Cycleway http://www.cycle-routes.org/HADRIANSCYCLEWAY/ and Hadrian's Wall National Trail http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/hadrianswall/. The milepost pictured is one of a thousand donated to the National Cycle Network project by the Bank of Scotland. This particular one is of the "Welsh" design, by Andrew Rowe and takes its inspiration from Welsh love-spoons http://www.sustrans.org.uk/default.asp?sID=1132763167625.
