Pretty quiet lane, heads southwest to Corbridge or can swing up across the Military road to Matfen

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.

This small tarn, located on the east side of the River Allen, was originally dug out as a boating lake by the Victorians. Now, it's a peaceful haven where you can take the opportunity to spot some wildlife.

Looking across. Great for bird watching and photography

Longboat cabins at Langley dam glamping.

If you're cycling this segment in winter make sure you've got mud guards otherwise avoid like the plague if you don't like your face being splattered with whatever that brown stuff was on the road! if you pull up quietly to whittledean reservoir you might be fortunate enough to witness a Herron on the banks of the reservoir? I pulled up to quickly and startled one which flew off in a majestic arc across the reservoir! not enough time to snap a quick photo though ☹️

Scenic route leading towards Langley castle & also close to amenities in Allendale.

Look out for which half has the sun / shade and also for the dog poo that didn't make it to the bins provided!
