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.

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.

Great little spot that pops up in the landscape. Quite spectacular to look at.

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.

Greenlee Lough is the largest natural lake in Northumberland. Its surrounding wetlands make up a mosaic of habitats that is now rare in Britain and home to a rich variety of flora and fauna. So unusual is this pattern that Natural England has declared it a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a National Nature Reserve.

Very pretty small lake in old quarry. perfect for picnic and has good facilities too.

Lovely lake at the bottom of Steel Rigg and the Windsill
