Hadrian's Wall ditch west of Walwick Hadrian's wall or 'Vallum Aelium' is the remains of a large Roman fortification. The wall extended west from Segedunum at Wallsend on the River Tyne to the shore of the Solway Firth, ending a short but unknown distance west of the village of Bowness-on-Solway. Construction probably started sometime in AD 122 and was largely completed within six years. The remains were made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

Carr Edge near Fourstones An outcrop of golden sandstone, topped by the Scots pines of Carr Edge Plantation. The rocks illustrate differential weathering, whereby varying resistance to the erosional effects of weather creates a sculptured effect. This was the site of the first boy scout camp in 1908 led by Baden Powell. Information from Northumberland National Park Authority.
