As part of the Millennium celebrations, 1000 Millennium Mileposts were erected
around the National Cycle Network. There are four different types of Millennium
Mileposts. This milestone marker type was one of the first post designs to be
commissioned. It was designed by John Mills, and his piece was entitled The
Fossil Tree. The post takes the form of an abstract tree with relief imagery of
fossils depicting the passage of time from early primitive creatures to the
ultimate demise of fossil fuel driven technology. Wales, Scotland and N/Ireland
had their own commissioned posts, and most posts seemed to have received a
different colour scheme.
This milepost is sited on Regional Route 15 passing through the Pegwell Bay
Country Park, parallel with the Sandwich Road at Pegwell Bay, Kent.
Regional Route 15 takes in The Viking Coastal Trail of 29 miles, 10 miles of
which is traffic free. The section from Pegwell Bay to Reculver Towers is 21
miles, whereas the quite lane, inland section, from Pegwell Bay to St Nicholas
at Wade is 6 miles.
