The National Cycle Network is marked at intervals by specially designed mileposts donated to the project by the Royal Bank of Scotland. This example stands beside the world-famous C2C cycle route. There are four designs - one each by an Englishman, a Welshman, a Scotsman and an Irishman. The example seen here is an "English" one, entitled "the Fossil Tree" and designed by John Mills. The arms indicate Keswick 19 miles to the left; and Penrith 1 and Sunderland 60 miles to the right. This specimen has been colourfully enhanced - compare with Image
