Hexham is a market town and civil parish in Northumberland, England, south of the River Tyne, and was the administrative centre for the Tynedale district from 1974 to 2009. Smaller towns and villages around Hexham include Corbridge, Riding Mill, Stocksfield and Wylam to the east, Acomb and Bellingham to the north, Allendale to the south and Haydon Bridge, Bardon Mill and Haltwhistle to the west. Newcastle upon Tyne is about 25 miles (40 km) to the east.
Hexham Abbey originated as a monastery founded by Wilfrid in 674. The crypt of the original monastery survives, and incorporates many stones taken from nearby Roman ruins, probably Corbridge or Hadrian's Wall. The current Hexham Abbey dates largely from the 11th century onward, but was significantly rebuilt in the 19th century. Other notable buildings in the town include the Moot Hall, the covered market, and the Old Gaol.
Hexham's architectural landscape is dominated by Hexham Abbey. The current church largely dates from c. 1170–1250, in the Early English Gothic style of architecture. The choir, north and south transepts and the cloisters, where canons studied and meditated, date from this period. The east end was rebuilt in 1860. The abbey stands at the west end of the market place, which is home to the Shambles, a Grade II* covered market built in 1766 by Sir Walter Blackett.
At the east end of the market place stands the Moot Hall, a c15 gatehouse that was part of the defences of the town. The Moot Hall is a Grade I listed building, and was used as a courthouse until 1838. The Old Gaol, behind the Moot Hall on Hallgates, was one of the first purpose-built jails in England. It was built between 1330 and 1333 and is a Grade I listed Scheduled Monument. Hexham Library can be found in the Queen's Hall. It contains the Brough Local Studies Collection which is the second-largest local history collection in the county.
Hexham is bypassed to the north by the A69 road, linking it with Carlisle to the west and Newcastle to the east, which bypasses the original route, the A695. The town is served by Hexham railway station on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, also known as the Tyne Valley Line. The line — part of the UK publicly owned national rail network — was opened in 1838, and links the city of Newcastle upon Tyne in Tyne and Wear with Carlisle in Cumbria. The line follows the course of the River Tyne through Northumberland.

S1 Ep16 - A Visit To Hexham, Northumberland
Hexham is a market town in Northumberland. It sits between Newcastle upon Tyne in the east and Carlisle to the west. This makes it a fantastic place to base yourself for daily explorations of the surrounding areas, such as the Lake District, the Pennines, Northumberland National Park, and the North Sea coastline.
Hexham itself has much to offer. It is steeped in history having the beautiful Abbey, the Moot Hall, the covered market, and the Old Gaol (which is now a museum), among other things. Then there are the walks you can take. One of the best and most stunning starts at Tyne Green Park, down alongside the river Tyne. This avenue of trees is simply the most stunning way to start/finish a walk I have ever had the pleasure to come across, it is a photographer's/artist's dream!
The town is well catered for with major supermarkets through to quirky independent retail outlets and plenty of eateries. The historic buildings and quaint cobbled street, along with the grounds of the abbey are well worth spending time walking around.
So if it is just a day visit or if you are planning to use Hexham as a base for your holiday, I can highly recommend it, it is just simply a beautiful town with an awful lot to offer a visitor.
I will be returning very soon to capture the awesome beauty of Autumn along the walk at Tyne Green Park, I would recommend any photographer/artist who is looking for something special for an Autumn piece to do likewise.
See you next week
All the best

Section 3: Hexham to Ladycross
In this section we start by exploring some of the sites in Hexham. The Old Gaol, England's oldest purpose built prison, the moot hall, and the Abbey with its Anglo-Saxon crypt. We leave Hexham and head to the pub... The Dilston Inn; where they brew their own excellent beer. From here we pass the remains of Dukesfield Lead Smelt Works, at the time when it first opened it would've been one of the largest such sites in the country; now just two arches and a wheel housing remain. Passing the remains of another old smelt works we make our way to Ladycross Quarry; thus ending section 3.
This is a shorter walk after the 16 miles from the previous walk and fewer but equally spectacular points of interest as we move away from the Tyne Valley and into the wilds of Southeast Northumberland.
Please subscribe so that you don't miss any of the next 49+ walks.

Phantom Coachman Of Langley Old Hall | Ghosts Among the Ruins | English Folklore
Welcome to my channel! Here you'll find folklore from across the British Isles. Last year my friend and I went out for a drive and came across the ruins of Langley Old Hall just on the outskirts of Durham, once the home of the Scrope family. It's said that a ghostly coach and four headless black phantom horses thunder up the drive and disappear into the ether. A very eerie place indeed. But a great bit of local history and folklore.

Riddlehamhope hall by drone. (second attempt). Abandoned places UK.
Phantom 4 pro flight. Second attempt to get to the very remote Riddlehamhope hall in Hexham. The drone flew 14558ft (2.75 miles), fighting a Westerly breeze until the low battery warning came on, I could probably have pushed further but not quite that confident yet! Still, it means a third try sometime.
