Price from: £8 per adult, £2 per child under 16

1-Hour Circular Route

What to expect?
Join Adventours for a stroll through Hexham's gruesome past.

We all love a dark story, and this belief is at the heart of Adventours walking tours. Only the most cruel, the most unjust, the most revolting historical, factual tales will do.
Your experienced local guide will lead you through the ancient town of Hexham's rich, dark past. This circular, leisurely walk takes 1 hour; it's wheelchair accessible and dog-friendly.

Highlights

• Immersive retelling of factual historical events
• See Hexham's lesser-known areas.
• Learn about this beautiful town's ugly past.
• Your journey begins at the Moot Hall in the historic market place
• Next, pause at the Abbey flagstones, to learn Hexhams darkest day.
• Wending through the Abbey grounds we'll share the details of the struggle to keep this holy site over the centuries.
• Walking through the beautiful Sele Park, we cross over Cockshaw Burn (stream) to consider a lifetime spent doing Hexham's worst job.
• Passing the grounds of Hexham House, we'll hear of Hexham's foulest secret before making our return to the Market Place.
