The wife and I are looking forward to holidaying in the area next week.Two nights at a Guesthouse on Hadrians Wall followed by a week at Wooler.
I'm looking forward to visiting Flodden,Homildon Hill,Yeavering etc,etc.
Are there any tours on next week?

These will start from the Flodden Monument Car park at 2.00 pm each day. There will also be a talk at Branxton Villahe Hall on Friday 11th Sept at 7.00. This will be about the recent archaeology on Flodden Hill. If these do not fit in with your plans please phone me on 01890 820501 and we will see if we can arrange something. Clive H-B
