Where to Stay and Eat
Why not make the most of your visit to Hexham Races by staying overnight and spending a day or two exploring Hexham and the beautiful surrounding countryside.
There are many sites to visit, most of which are just a short drive away from the racecourse and town centre: Hexham Abbey, Hadrian's Wall, Vindolanda Roman Fort and Settlement, Prudhoe Castle and Northumberland National Park.
There are vast areas of countryside and parks to walk around and leisure pursuits such as golf or angling (the River Tyne is one of the best salmon rivers in England) are close by.
Find out more about the wealth of attractions Northumberland has to offer by calling in at the Local Tourism Information Centre at Wentworth Car Park or visiting its website.
