About Berwick-upon-Tweed

Berwick-upon-Tweed is the northernmost town in England located 5 minutes drive from the Scottish border. The town is only 45 minutes away from Edinburgh and Newcastle via a regular train service. The town itself is encircled by its Elizabethan Fortifications and the 11/2 mile walk around these walls where you will be treated to town and coastal views, and get a glimpse into the perilous past of the town.

Berwick was the focus of 300 years of border warfare, changing hands at least thirteen times between Scotland and England. The town also became the home of Britain’s first purpose-built army barracks, now the venue of the Berwick Museum and owned by English Heritage.

Other notable attractions in the town include the Town Hall, The Lowry Trail, Berwick Golf Club, The Maltings Theatre & Arts Centre and the Charter Market which operates each Wednesday and Saturday.
The area is also near Spittal beach and the Heritage Coastline, slightly further afield you can see majestic castles, enjoy many walks and cycle routes and of course the Cheviot Hills, renowned for their open spaces and breathtaking landscapes are within easy reach.

These, together with most of the community, are located on the Southern part of the island - the main focus for tourists and holidaymakers. Many are also attracted by the peace and tranquility which pervades the Island and the remote Northern conservation area, with more than its fair share of quiet beaches and unique natural history.
