This one, next to the River Foyle at Derry, is on regional route 92 which runs from Ballinamallard near Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh to Derry. It forms part of the Ballyshannon to Ballycastle cycle route.

There are four different designs of milepost in the series. This is an example of the design by Welsh artist, Andrew Rowe. It is based upon the nautical and industrial heritage of his native Swansea and can have up to four directional fingers.

National Cycle Network Mileposts

1000 Millennium cast iron mileposts were funded by the Royal Bank of Scotland to mark the creation of the National Cycle Network, and found along the cycles routes through the UK.

There are four different types of posts, "Fossil Tree" by John Mills, "The Cockerel" by Iain McColl, "Rowe Type" by Andrew Rowe, and "Tracks" by David Dudgeon. The four artists are from each country of the UK though all posts can be found in all four countries.
