Things to do on site and in the Stocksfield area

The nearby area is rich in history with the site even having an old roman road running straight through the field. You can head to Hadrian's Wall to see the forts and museums full of roman history or visit the historic town of Hexham with an abbey dating back to AD674.

For a day at the beach you are within an hour from Tynemouth or Whitley Bay. Both are great for days out with walks along the beach and a dip in the dea. Tynemouth is also home to castle ruins and often has a weekend market.

The Beamish Museum is quirky must see. An open living museum set in the olden days, you can spend your day visiting the old town with a bakery, blacksmiths shop and an old-fashioned sweet shop where you can see them being made!
