Things to do in Northumberland

There is an amazing variety of activities within easy reach of our hotel in Hexham.

Local attractions include golf courses, Hexham racecourse, national parks and castles and historic houses. Activities you can do in Northumberland include walking amongst magnificent scenery and cycling along Hadrians Wall.

We are situated in the heart of the largest, and least populated county in Britain. Wonderful scenery complements a great sense of history. Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland National Park, Kielder Water and Wallington Hall are a few of the local gems. There is so much to do in our area. We are only a stones throw away from Newcastle, the coast, Beamish and other British treats. The list is endless. We can cater for everyones needs. If you want to get away with the family or for a romantic break Northumberland just about has it all.

Why not take the kids to see Hexham Old Gaol Tour the Old Gaol, 1330AD, by glass lift. Meet the gaoler, see a Reiver raid and try on costumes. It's such good fun.

We are also blessed with some of the north's finest golf courses. The new championship Colt Course at Close House, two courses at Slaley Hall, one impossible to tame, Hexham Golf Course and Matfen Hall are all within a short drive. There are many more that we can recommend.
