    One of the most iconic viewpoints in Northumberland National Park is just minutes from Steel Rigg Car Park. From here, a panoramic view unfolds of Hadrian's Wall, winding like a ribbon of stone across the rugged cliffs of Whin Sill. The landscape here is particularly photogenic, with views of Crag Lough, Hotbank Crags, and the famous Sycamore Gap.

      An impressive example of Roman archeology, the Steel Rigg shows how the Romans incorporated natural landscapes into their defences. The Steel Rigg is one of the most well-known features of the Northumbrian landscape and the Hadrian's Wall. Today, you can follow in the footsteps and walk along the ridge by following the Hadrian's Wall Path up its slopes.

        Great views across to the outcrop. Really stands out against the backdrop of bleak moorland.
