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.

Quietly situated reservoir with rich natural beauty, built in the late 19th century as part of the drinking water system for Newcastle and Gateshead. Surrounded by woodland and bush, and popular with birdwatchers for species such as the great crested grebe, cuckoo and house martin.

45 years ago, this site was a working quarry, where the hard whinstone was blasted with dynamite to provide road stone for the expanding road network of the early 20th Century. After it closed in 1976, the quarry was filled in and landscaped, planted with trees and flowers, and today is a haven for wildlife and nature. Now it is a place to relax, watch wildlife and feed the ducks, but you can also find adventure in its meadows and woodlands and get a real taste of the wild!
