Cawfield Quarry (by Hadrian’s Wall)
(FIVE TRUNK location)
Location
Cawfields has its own (very handy car park) and to Romanists is well-known due to its proximity to Milecastle 42 (the one on a steep slope).
Grid ref
NY 714/667
Features
Great access on one side and gets very deep, with great views of the Cawfields Crags over which Hadrians Wall passes in this area.
Hazards
None really (but if you push me its a quarry so is deep with gentle access on one side).
