Vindolanda Fort & Museum. It combines the actual Roman fort excavations with the museum, so you get both the archaeology and the artefacts.

Hexham, UK
Bellingham, a historic market town on the River North Tyne, and you can make a worthwhile 60–90 minute visit without doing a long walk. I'd suggest:Bellingham Heritage Centre — particularly good for understanding the local history; it's open daily 10am–4pmin September. Bellingham village/market placeTea on the Train — right beside the Heritage Centre, so an easy coffee/lunch stop. A short riverside wander if you fancy it.I would not do Hareshaw Linn on this trip. It's a lovely waterfall, but the walk is considerably longer than your 2-mile round-trip limit,
Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Otterburn itself is quite small, but it has some interesting history. The Percy Cross marks the site associated with the Battle of Otterburn in 1388, and the village has the Otterburn Mill, with its weaving and wool-milling history. https://www.visitnorthumberland.com/explore/destinations/towns-villages/otterburn?utm_source=chatgpt.com
Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Elsdon. The National Park describes it as the historic capital of Redesdale, and it's a much more atmospheric little village than Otterburn itself
