About
Berwick-upon-Tweed, the northernmost town in England, sits dramatically on the River Tweed just a few miles south of the Scottish border, and its rich history is woven into its very walls. For centuries, this picturesque coastal town changed hands between England and Scotland no fewer than 13 times, leaving behind a fascinating blend of architectural and cultural influences. Its Elizabethan town walls, some of the best preserved in Europe, still encircle the old town, offering scenic walks with views over the river and the North Sea. Berwick’s charming Georgian architecture, vibrant arts scene, golden beaches, and bustling harbour make it a unique mix of heritage and seaside charm, while its complex past adds a layer of intrigue for visitors and history enthusiasts alike.
