Descripción
Grindon Lough is the smallest and shallowest of four natural loughs located in the Hadrian’s Wall area. The Lough can be viewed from the road and is a good site for waterfowl especially in winter. A number of geese can regularly be viewed including Barnacla canadiense grande, Ánsar común, Ánsar piquicorto, and (sadly, now rarely) Greenland Ánsar careto. Cisne Cantor also use the lake, as do a range of dabbling ducks, primarily Cerceta Común, Cuchara Común, Silbón Europeo and Ánade azulón, and a few diving ducks, mainly Porrón Moñudo and Porrón Osculado. Wading species include breeding Correlimos Común, Agachadiza común, and Archibebe Común; wintering Chorlito Dorado Europeo, and passage Aguja Colinegra are commonly observed. Other key species to watch out for include Aguilucho pálido, Busardo ratonero, Cernícalo vulgar, Cuervo Grande and Alondra Común.
Recent rarities have included Falaropo Picofino (a single summering bird annually since 2015), Silbón Americano (a single drake present most of the time since late 2015), though sadly neither have returned in 2023; and longer ago, an inland Pato Havelda.
Muckle Moss National Nature Reserve, an area of Birch bog woodland along the road just to the southwest, holds good numbers of Pardillo Alpino and Jilguero Lúgano all year, occasional Pardillo Norteño in winter, and in summer, Cuco Común, Bisbita Arbóreo and Mosquitero Musical.

Accesso
The reserve is situated just north of the Stanegate (an old Roman Road which linked Corbridge with Carlisle), and lies between limestone ridges. Parking is available along the Stanegate Roman Road, west of Newbrough (OL43 NY806676) which allows good views over the Lough. Click on the P in the map to get directions. There is no dedicated parking. Visitors can park along the Stanegate Roman Road. The road is narrow in places, so visitors are recommended to take care when parking to ensure passing cars (including large farm vehicles!) can pass safely. There is no access onto the site.
