CD Audio Tour: The Corn Road from Hexham to Alnmouth – the 18th Century Newcastle Bypass

Duration: 1.5 hours

A remarkable journey full of fascinating things to see that winds its way from Hexham to the pretty seaside village of Alnmouth on the historic Corn Road.

Crossing the Roman Wall, passing historic country houses and grand estates and dropping by character-filled villages, it's a journey that will inspire and delight many times over.

As your guide, historian and broadcaster, John Grundy says: "You could drive it no bother in about an hour and a half but you would, of course, be a twit to do so because that way you would miss so much pleasure and interest."

Discover hidden facts about some of the region's most famous sights as well as some real gems of hidden history that the guidebooks miss entirely.
