Fun experience. Helen was a great guide- friendly and engaging with the whole group. A great way to find out a bit more about Hexham’s history.
5Entertaining, historical walking tour
What a great walking tour. I’ve lived locally for 40 years and took a friend who was visiting with me. We learnt so much, brought to life by the incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining Helen. You shouldn’t really miss this when you visit Hexham, it’s a fantastic way to spend an hour and grab a coffee in the market square afterwards!
5Interesting and entertaining Gruesome Hexham Tour
We had a lovely afternoon with our daughter and son in law hearing all about gruesome Hexham from Helen. We all had a super time and found Helen full of interesting facts and she is a really entertaining story teller. Helen was very caring and made sure I didn't get left behind as an older participant. We would definitely recommend this tour.

About Newcastle-upon-Tyne
Newcastle upon Tyne is a river city in north-east England, with a Norman castle keep, a row of bridges over the Tyne and a revived quayside.
Newcastle grew around a Roman bridge crossing and takes its name from the castle begun here in 1080 by Robert Curthose, son of William the Conqueror. The stone keep still stands above the railway, beside the Black Gate. The Tyne is crossed by the Swing Bridge, the High Level Bridge and the steel arch of the Tyne Bridge, and Grainger Town has classical streets of the 1830s with Grey's Monument at their heart.
