Crossing on the Consett and Sunderland railway path
The Consett and Sunderland Railway Path forms part of the world-famous C2C cycle route. Here it crosses Biddick Land in Washington, and barriers have been erected to slow cyclists down.
The National Cycle Network is marked at intervals by specially designed mileposts donated to the project by the Royal Bank of Scotland. There are four designs - one each by an Englishman, a Welshman, a Scotsman and an Irishman. The example seen here on the left is an "English" one, entitled "the Fossil Tree" and designed by John Mills. The arms indicate Chester-le-Street 3.5 miles and Consett 15 miles to the left and Wildfowl Trust 2 miles and Roker Pier 9 miles to the right.
