Welcome to Hexham

Hexham is a picturesque town, dominated by the magnificent Abbey founded in 674 AD by Saint Wilfrid. A market town rich in history, Hexham has developed in time around the abbey with a number of impressive buildings.
The newly refurbished 14th century Old Gaol is the oldest purpose built gaol in England and hosts the Border Library.
Nearby are the Moothall, the old Courthouse, and the impressive Beaumont Street, home to the former Corn Exchange. These are places that visitors should not miss.
Why not take a stroll in the beautiful historic Hexham parks, next to the Abbey. The leafy Abbey Grounds, the gardens of Hexham House and the Sele are all Grade II listed and provide wonderful floral displays.
Pleasure grounds since the 18th century, a walk in the park will certainly provide pleasure for visitors to the town.
