Great walk in Hexham Town. I enjoyed it very much. The historical history you give is a great learning lesson. Can't wait to see more of your walking videos soon. Have a great day 😀
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Hexham is a captivating place and home to some thoroughly spectacular history, making it well worth the visit :)
I love it that people take the time to do this walk around a town , best history lesson ever , I really wanted to visit Hexham and didn’t get the time when I visited Northumberland, I will hopefully return soon
Excellent walk. One of the best. Love the map to show where exactly we were. Did not feel rushed. Great way to share the hstory of this amazing town. Thanks
I hope you enjoy your next visit! And I do hope you enjoyed this video too - Hexham is a wonderful town and full of such riveting history too :) Thank you so much for watching!
I did enjoy your tour around this awesome town. Your comments are second to none, almost answering the questions raised when watching these history Laden towns and cities. An example, I was wondering which river was hexham built close to and a minute later you came out with the answer. THX
Thank you so much! I'm really glad that you're getting a good deal out of the captions - I put a lot of research into highlighting the best and most interesting points of towns and cities around the country - so I'm very grateful for your kind words there :) Thanks for watching and commenting as always, it means a lot!
I agree with the earlier comment, that a descriptive sound-track would improve the visual experience... because we would be able to concentrate our gaze on the views, instead of missing visual nuances whilst reading the sub-titles, which also obscure some of the clarity of the visuals. Also, the sub-titles state the park beside/behind the Abbey is the "The Sele". How is that pronounced? See? "Nuances" again. The commentary shouldn't be a continuous outpouring of verbiage, just the sub-titles spoken in a cool, relaxed manner, allowing the natural sound-track to accent the visuals!
Thanks so much for your calming and informative videos. You give, for me, just enough information about each building and area. Thanks a lot and audio.....well without it it feels like I am there on that street walking in your footsteps 🙏👍🌿
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos, there's a lot of fascinating history and heritage to discover in the towns of the UK that many people might not have the chance to stumble across, and it's even better that you enjoy the atmosphere of these virtual walks - it's one of my favourite things about making these videos :) Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind comments!
Pixie Hematite - I did at one point think an audio track would be a good idea - now I'm not too sure and feel inclined to agree with your subtle implication that the lack of a human voiceover is the key to the charm of these videos and lends fully to the feel of a lone, peaceful stroll just absorbing the atmosphere of the place.
@@LetsWalkUK May I suggest a visit to the west Cumbrian town of Silloth-on-Solway. A lovely little Victorian seaside town, 22 miles west of Carlisle. Cumbria's hidden gem.
Interesting film but I would pick you up on a few points: Pant is a Northumbrian word for a public water source, not a market cross: pants can be found in several places around Hexham. Also, St Mary's Chare takes its name from the medieval church of St Mary's, the remains of which can be seen at the arch at its northern end, although you are correct in stating that the chare follows the line of the original abbey wall, the remains of which can be seen in the nearby St Mary's Wynd. More importantly, Battle Hill has no known connection to the Battle of Hexham - it is considered far more likely to be a corruption of the word "bothal", an Anglo-Saxon term for a hall - most likely situated somewhere around the current Sele park and, lastly, Hexham Community Church was never the town's Community Centre! Built originally as a Methodist church, this building housed retail businesses and a dentist for a while before reverting to religious purposes; the Community Centre, originally named the Abbey Institute, is in Gilesgate.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - and especially many thanks for all that extra information about Hexham, there's always more to the story than first meets the eye as you prove :)
The flakes of snow here and there were so atmospheric - my wife and I visit the market place on the first Tuesday of November to stock up on game from Ridley's game stall to freeze and last us over Christmas until spring followed by lunch and a few pints in Wetherspoon's Forum just opposite. Why not elevate your great work with an audio track? I'm certain you can profit from the niche you've found but we need that soundtrack if you want to take your great idea forward.
It's always great when there's a bit of snow in the air up in Northumberland! And as cold as it can be, walking around a town like Hexham is always a real treat :) On the audio soundtrack - I like to keep my videos nice and immersive, with a calming/real-world atmosphere, it seems that's what many people like about them! But I'll certainly bear your suggestion in mind when it comes to making different kinds of videos, which I'll definitely be doing in the near future :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
@Thegamer_plays If you don't mind my saying - your sister is a credit to the pub, a credit to Wetherspoons and a credit to Hexham as her contributions, and that of her staff, brings even more pleasure to a visit to this lovely town. If you don't mind, please pass on my thanks and appreciation next time you see her as it is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, lovely video! Forum Cinema is still very much a cinema. (The pub is only in the downstairs area of the building.)

An excellent look at Hexham, for which I thank you so much.
I lived in hexham for most of my life, but moved away in 2007. I've been back once in 2014 and will be back for a visit again.

@@LetsWalkUK Please don't add a soundtrack. It is just perfect as it is.
Is Hexham a nice and friendly place to live?
Can anyone tell me what would be the living cost for single person in hexham
Looks grim
Well that's what real history looks like. Looks better when the sun is shining
