    Tips

    July 23, 2025

    Grindon Lough is a small, shallow natural lake near Hadrian's Wall and the Stanegate Roman Road. Nestled among limestone ridges, it's a birdwatching hotspot, especially in autumn and winter. Species like greylag goose, wigeon, teal, curlew, and even rarer species like the American wigeon or red-necked phalarope can be spotted here. There's no direct access to the lake, but it's easily viewed from the Stanegate Road near Newbrough—but be sure to bring warm clothing, as it's often windy and exposed.

      A natural lough located just off Hadrian's Wall, Grindon Lough is a haven for birdwatchers. Situated between two limestone ridges, the lough is home to many species of waterfowl, especially during winter.



      Look out for greylag, pink footed, bean, and Greenland white-fronted geese, as well as Whooper swans and the black-tailed godwit.
