The scholars service was numbered H5 I believe and served the High School and Middle School at Hexham. Nightingale Coaches used to run a shoppers service twice a month on a Tuesday morning from Blachland and Slaley via Whitley Chapel. There are currently no public bus services serving Hexhamshire.

There certainly is. There's a loop you can do too, if you take a track that's just opposite the pub. It's the long way around, but will bring you past Dukes House Wood and in to Hexham that way.
Always wanted to maybe take off from the 689 at Slaley and explore (via the pubs) towards Hexham, but I've never done it.

Home of the Hexhamshire Brewery, the Dipton Mill is a cosy, welcoming country pub with real fires, real ales and a real warm welcome.
That's the one. Shame there isn't a bus nearby with the opening hours being so limited.
