They lie about 18 miles (29 km) west of Morpeth; 4 miles (6 km) west of Kirkwhelpington; and 6 miles (10 km) east of Bellingham. There is a crossing between the two lakes, which are lined with trees and surrounded by hills. To the north west are Great Wanney Crag and Little Wanney Crag. The larger lough has a surface area of 46.293 ha and a mean depth of 2.043 m, a catchment area of 618 ha, and is situated at 238 m altitude.
