Sign, Public Bridleway, Holywell
This sign indicates the route of the 'Tyne & Wear Heritage Way' (black & white disc), an 80 mile route taking in the rich historic and industrial heritage of the area. The way is broken down into nine convenient sections that can be walked at any time, and in any order. It also indicates the 'Reivers Cycle Routes', a brace of waymarked bi-directional coast to coast cycle routes between the North and Irish Seas. There are two types of routes, an off-road route and an on-road route, with the off-road one being waymarked with dark red coloured waymarkers. This particular section is part of the off-road option indicated by the red and white sign on the post.

'Wildflower Meadow', Holywell
A true wildflower meadow is an area of grass maintained by an annual hay cut. It is made up of perennial plants – species that grow and flower each year, re-appearing from their underground roots each spring. This one in Holywell was particularly impressive when I passed by.
