Greenlee Lough is 5 km north of Bardon Mill, and 3 km north of the B6318. The Lough is a National Nature Reserve and is owned and managed by the Northumberland Wildlife Trust and the Northumberland National Park. Greenlee Lough is a shallow lake fringed with water plants. Most of the reserve is open water. The lake's edge has reedbed, herb fen and blanket bog. It is used extensively by wildfowl and waders that feed in the shallow waters and wetlands. The Lough was used as a reservoir by the Romans on Hadrian's Wall.
