Stonehaugh is a small settlement in Northumberland about west of Wark on Tyne and 4 Roman miles (6 km) north of Hadrian's Wall. It was purpose-built for housing forestry workers in the 1950s. Mechanization has reduced the necessity for such concentrated workforce, so the modern population is more diverse. It is located at the edge of the Wark Forest, and the National Cycle Route 68 (the Pennine Cycleway) passes through it. It was called one of the UK's best national park campsites by The Guardian, and a local artist's totem poles grace the local picnic area.
