Travel to Hexham

There is a railway that connects Hexham with Newcastle upon Tyne and Carlisle. Trains run roughly every 30 minutes, and take about 45 minutes from Newcastle, or about one hour from Carlisle. Occasionally there is a direct train from Glasgow which takes around three hours, but it is better to change at Carlisle for trains to Glasgow.

Buses serve Hexham including the 10 (every 30 minutes) which provides links to Newcastle and the MetroCentre and Prudhoe. Journey times are roughly 90 minutes on this route. The X84 and X85, which each run hourly, take about one hour but do not stop at Prudhoe or the MetroCentre. The alternative option is to use the 85 or 685, which again take roughly an hour. These also provide a bus link from Carlisle. There is one service on the 85 and 685 each hour.

In total and there are about five buses per hour from Newcastle. These are the 10 (two buses) and the X84 and the X85 and either the 85 or 685.

The A69 is the primary street for getting to Hexham and also connects to Newcastle and Carlisle. The A68, from Darlington to Edinburgh, intersects it at Corbridge.

The nearest airport is Newcastle Airport. Despite its name, it is quite a long way out of the centre of Newcastle. To get to Hexham, avoid going to the centre of Newcastle and out again. Use instead the A69, particularly during busy times of the day. Taking a taxi is not recommended, because the fare will set you back roughly £40 from th Airport.
