All-day cafe-bar off the market place, mismatched furniture and a long menu, open from breakfast to late. Dog friendly, and one of the few doors in central Hexham that says so outright. Useful for a rainy afternoon between the abbey and the car park.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.
The room, the terrace, the table the dog fits under.
A few dishes and what they cost.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
Inside or terrace only, and whether that changes at lunch.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Three and a half miles and 195 metres of climbing in about two hours through the largest area of ancient semi-natural woodland in Northumberland, up one bank of the River Allen and back over Morralee Tarn. Start at the National Trust car park at Ridley Hall, signposted from the A69 between Haydon Bridge and Bardon Mill; it is charged for non-members and holds about 80 cars. This is a genuinely good off-lead wood with the Allen alongside the whole way for a drink and a swim, but the gorge paths run along steep drops above the river, the suspension bridge bounces and some dogs baulk at it, and red squirrels are a reason to keep a recall close.
A flat three-mile hour and a half on both banks of the Tyne, from Tyne Green past the golf course to the old bridge and back along the water. Start from the free Tyne Green Country Park car park below the town, which is large, unmetered and the one place in Hexham you can leave a car all day for nothing. Open riverside grass makes this the best off-lead walk in the town, with easy shelving access to the Tyne for a swim, though the current runs fast after rain and the golf course section asks for dogs to be kept close.
Five and a half miles of level walking in under three hours, downstream on riverside and woodland paths by Dilston to the bridge at Corbridge. Begin at the free Tyne Green car park in Hexham and take the train or the 685 bus back; both run frequently and the rail journey is one stop. Long stretches of quiet riverbank where a dog can be loose, plenty of Tyne access for a drink and a swim, but there are two farm fields with cattle, a short length of lane without a verge, and the paths flood after heavy rain.
Nobody has written one for Muro Lounge. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
