Newbrough Town Hall is a distinctive community building in the village of Newbrough, Northumberland, situated on the historic Stanegate Roman Road. Built in 1878 in the Italianate style and donated by Jane Todd as a gift to the village community, it is now a Grade II listed building and a vibrant hub for local events, concerts, and gatherings. With its elegant façade, clock tower, and spacious function rooms, it hosts everything from badminton to weddings – a vibrant heart of the village, rooted in history. Newbrough itself promotes itself as the gateway to the Northumberland National Park.

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.

Here you have a (distant) view of Vindolanda Fort, the most fascinating Roman archaeological site in Britain.

From here you get a view of the magnificent Fort Vindolanda, a Roman auxilliary fort that offers a wonderful insight into daily life in Roman Britain during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD.

To cross the River Allen at this point, you will pass over this three-arch bridge, which is listed as Grade 2. Its origin dates back to the late 18th century. There are a few parking spaces on one side of the bridge.
