This turned out to be a nice little town and had some lunch in the market square before visiting the old gaol and the Hexam Abbey. Outside the Abbey I was pleased to find a memorial plaque for the Northumberland Fusiliers who died in WWII. My Great Grandfather James Bingham had served with them during WWI but died in Flanders so it was nice to see.Afterwards we took a walk around the back of the Abbey and the kids had a great time at a small swing park before I spotted there was a cache nearby. It would have been rude to come the Hexam and not bag a cache so despite it being a day off we went and found The Sele.
