NCN milepost at the "Jolly Drovers", Leadgate
The Consett and Sunderland path (part of the famous C2C cycle route, National Cycle Network route 7) follows the line of an old railway from Stanhope Moor down to Washington.
The milepost is one of a thousand donated by the Royal Bank of Scotland to the project. This particular design is "Fossil Tree" by John Mills, and is sometimes known as the "English" milepost, although examples of it may be found throughout the United Kingdom. The structure on top of the mound is supposed to be a "viewing point" for the Leadgate Maze Image on the other side of the "Jolly Drovers" roundabout.

Leadgate Maze viewing platform
The Consett and Sunderland path (part of the famous C2C cycle route, National Cycle Network route 7) follows the line of an old railway from Stanhope Moor down to Washington. At this point the embankment is cut by road construction around the roundabout at the eastern end of the Leadgate By-pass (A692) ("Jolly Drovers" roundabout).
The structure at the end of the embankment is supposed to be a "viewing point" for the Leadgate Maze Image on the other side of the roundabout. Unfortunately, it no longer serves this purpose as the view has been very effectively blocked by a row of fast-growing leylandii trees which have been planted along the south side of the carpark of the "Jolly Drovers".

Jolly Drovers, Leadgate
Originally hidden behind a massive railway bridge on the Stanhope and Tyne Railway. More recently a welcome watering hole on the C2C cycle route. Some time subsequent to May, 2012 (see Image), the Jolly Drovers pub has been closed and boarded up, the future very uncertain.

Consett and Sunderland Railway Path east of Leadgate
This stretch of the Consett and Sunderland Railway Path is also part of the National Cycle Network route; hence, no doubt, the need for the tarmac surface.

The Jolly Drovers, Leadgate
This popular pub and restaurant closed a couple of years ago but fortunately was bought by new owners and had a major revamp. It seems to be doing very well, which makes a nice change to the usual story of local pubs being lost for ever.
