“We were nearby at Vindolanda and stopped in Hexham to have a wander around, we actually ended up at the Abbey as we ate in the excellent cafe, so went inside the Abbey and were quite surprised with the exhibition area - it was great for the kids. The abbey is perhaps more for adults and as we were leavign we discovered they do have a specific guide for kids and families but sadly it was too late. We would definately reccommend it, it is rare to have so much on offer for free entry these days.”
