Things to do in Berwick-Upon-Tweed

Berwick is the most northerly town in England, home to iconic bridges and a thriving culture scene. Famous for sitting on the fence as to whether it’s part of England or Scotland it’s the perfect base from which to explore, discover and enjoy this beautiful coastal town. Take a walk around and stop off for coffee at one of the independent cafes or pack up a picnic and head to the beach for a dip in the sea. Cocklawburn Beach, 4 miles south of Berwick is the perfect place for walking the Northumberland Coast Path or cycling part of the nearby National Cycle Route. This is a great spot for birdwatching and rock pooling too. If it’s more of a stroll you’re looking for, the Spittal promenade hugs the coastline for fabulous views of the lighthouse. This family friendly prom also has a play and a splash park for the children. 

History buffs with love the town's ancient stone walls which date back some 450 years, built as a defense against the Scots; they are the last remaining example of bastioned town walls in Britain. It’s well worth the 45 minute walk around the walls to discover the history of Berwick. Children and adults alike will love the Chain Bridge Honey Farm for an educational and fun day out. The visitor centre is a great place to learn all about bees, bee behavior, and the honey and wax extraction. From here you can walk to the Union Chain Bridge, a suspension bridge which links England to Scotland over the River Tweed. 

Berwick-upon-Tweed is just 3 miles from the Scottish border and an hour from Edinburgh.  

If you’re looking for dramatic landscapes, take the 39 miles drive to Melrose (birthplace of Rugby Sevens) sitting between England and Scotland. It's a great day out!
