Assignment Hexham

Saturday 11th February

Set in fabulous Hexhamshire countryside, Hexham is a thriving market town dating back to medieval times. Enjoyable photography opportunities abound.

Parking: if you arrive via the A69, the main Hexham turnoff takes you to the large Wentworth car park which also accommodates Waitrose (Tesco is further along to the right). All day parking is only £2 pay and display and there is an information centre where you can pick up a free street map. There is a somewhat steep climb up to the town itself and if this is a problem there is plenty of street parking but it can be busy on a Saturday.

The Waitrose Hexham store post code for satnav is NE46 3PN

Good coffee and tea shops are all over the town centre.

We meet at 10.00 am by the bandstand which is in attractive park land next to the Abbey.

Photography in the Abbey is allowed and you can use a tripod but not flash.

Lunch will be in the Tap and Spile on the corner of Battle Hill and Eastgate at around 1 o clock.
