Summary

[edit]
Description
English: National Cycle Network milepost at Wincomblee Hadrian's Way is the name given to a largely traffic-free path which runs between western to eastern boundaries of the City of Newcastle. At its eastern end (as here) the Way follows the line of a disused railway. The Way is followed by both Hadrian's Wall National Trail

http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/hadrianswall/ and by route 72 of the National Cycle Network (Hadrian's Cycleway http://www.cycle-routes.org/HADRIANSCYCLEWAY/and the Tynemouth branch of the C2C Cycle Route http://www.c2c-guide.co.uk/).

The blue structure is a National Cycle Network milepost

http://www.sustrans.org.uk/default.asp?sID=1132763167625, one of a thousand donated to the NCN project by the Royal Bank of Scotland. This specimen is one of the "Welsh" design by Andrew Rowe, and takes its inspiration from the industrial and nautical heritage of the artist's home in Swansea. An alternative explanation is that it is derived from a Welsh love-spoon. Mileposts are often found painted in different colours according to local initiative.
