Description

This milepost features a pointed arched head with a keystone above the inscription "Neath District." Below the two pointed arched panels, there is a triangular projection that reads "To Neath 1" and "To Pyle 11," resting on a cushion with a semicircular panel that reads "London 194." The base consists of a square panel that reads "Lantwit Parish" above a dated plaque that says "2841." The plinth bears the lettering "Eaglebush Foundry" and "Gardner."

Local climate

Milepost sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,380 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 69% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
