Hexham

Northumbria is the gem of the North East of England, proving fun, relaxation or adventure
in whatever combinations you desire. There is not much you won't find in this historical and
beautiful part of the country and Hexham is one of the best towns in this area.

Hexham sits in the centre of the River Tyne valley and is a popular place for day trippers
and holiday makers alike. It has a long history and this can be seen in the fabulous architecture and buildings such as Hexham Abbey and the 14th century Hexham Gaol, which is the oldest prison in the country.

But there is much more to do than just admire the sights. Hexham is also a modern town
with a real atmosphere by day and night. There are numerous excellent local restaurants
serving fine local organic produce along with a farmers' market for those who are self
catering.

If you stay near Hexham in one of the lovely cottages, you will also be ideally placed to visit
some of the other attractions nearby. These include of course Hadrian's Wall, the holy island of Lindisfarne, numerous battlefields and a large selection of market towns and National Trust and English Heritage sites and houses. For those wanting something more energetic, the Kielder Water and Forest Park can certainly provide a healthy dose of adrenaline.

A holiday in Hexham has pretty much something for everyone, whether that is history,
adventure, the great outdoors or just a relaxing time in one of the most scenic and beautiful
parts of England.
