Popping Stone
Stone
The Popping Stone is a group of three rounded boulders in the Irthing Gorge near the village of Gilsland. It was not always this shape, however, and photographs from before 1870 show a single, much larger stone that must have been drastically altered soon after this date. Popping Stone is situated 1,300 feet northwest of Wardrew.

St Mary Magdalene’s Church is a small mid-Victorian Anglican church on an isolated hillside in north-east Cumbria, England. Dedicated to Jesus' companion Mary Magdalene, it is the parish church of Gilsland, but is almost a mile from the village and may have been intended as much for the use of visitors to the nearby Gilsland Spa hotel as for the village. St Mary Magdalene’s Church, Gilsland is situated 2,900 feet southwest of Wardrew.

Haltwhistle is a market town in Northumberland, along the route between Newcastle and Carlisle, with a population of 4650 in 2021. It contrived to be named for a railway halt over 600 years before that railway arrived: Hautwysel means a hill between two forks of a river. Hadrian's Wall is the main reason to visit, the Roman frontier defence built in 122 AD.
