This milepost stands on National Cycle Network route 14 which links Gateshead via the Derwent Path to NCN route 7 (Consett and Sunderland) at Lydgett's Junction, a short way to the south. The milepost finger to the right is pointing to Consett town centre. The milepost is one of 1000 donated to the National Cycle Network project by the Royal Bank of Scotland. There are four designs of these mileposts - this one is an example of the "Welsh" pattern designed by Welsh artist Andrew Rowe; the design takes inspiration from the nautical and industrial heritage of the artist's native Swansea. On the far side of the open green are two good examples of roof-mounted solar panels.
