Cykling

Cawfields Quarry is a former quarry located directly on Hadrian's Wall near Haltwhistle. Constructed in the early 20th century, the quarry cut through the Roman wall, exposing the underlying dolerite rock of the Whin Sill. This geological formation formed a natural defensive line upon which the Romans built their wall.
Following the quarry's closure, the site has been redeveloped into a peaceful recreation area with a picturesque lake, picnic areas, and walking trails. The area offers direct access to Milecastle 42.

This is a beautiful spot in an old quarry and the start for many a good walk. There are nice views of the quarry and nearby parts of Hadrians Wall. It is also a perfect place for picnics and has good facilities too.
