Site Details
Grindon Lough is to the south of Hadrian's Wall, occupying a large natural depression. It is under the management of Northumberland Wildlife Trust. The Lough is quite shallow and surrounded by rough ground with many boggy sites and hollows. The fields on nearby slightly higher ground are popular with wintering geese. The conifer plantations and moorland to the south of the road are good for the usual small passerines. Birdwatchers often include a visit when travelling to or from Cumbria or the Solway. Otherwise it is mainly watched from Oct/March for numbers of wildfowl and April/May for passage and migration movement.
