Hexham is just a 20-minute drive from Wark and is home to England’s earliest purpose-built prison. The Old Gaol offers an insight into the harsh world of prisoners in the 14th century. Your dog is welcome inside to explore the museum with you.

Hexham Old Gaol, in the centre of the town, was built between 1330 and 1333 and was used as a prison for almost 500 years. Inside its thick stone walls you'll find interactive displays on archaeology
