Things to do in Berwick
Pretty, picture-postcard Berwick-upon-Tweed has a surprisingly gruesome past as England’s most northerly town. Be inspired with our pick of the shops, sights and grub.
Berwick's walls
Berwick's wallsAs England's northernmost town, Berwick’s just a couple of miles from the Scottish Border. Centuries past saw the Scots and English scrap over the town – but things are much calmer these days. The town's turbulent history is clear from its massive Elizabethan walls, complete with canon. Stretch your legs with a stroll along them. The pay-off? Views that’ll have you busting out your camera.
Lowry Trail
Lowry TrailLove or hate them, LS Lowry’s iconic paintings of life in Northern towns are instantly recognisable – all smoggy factories and world-weary folk. The artist’s links to Berwick are less well-known. He took his holidays in the town and made 20 paintings and drawings of Berwick. See how each painting measures up to the place by following the Lowry Trail.
Royal Tweed Bridge
Royal Tweed BridgeStand on the bridge and take in the view: Berwick Castle, Holy Island Castle and Bamburgh Castle can all be seen. It's the newest of the three bridges so gives you a great view of the more architecturally interesting Old Bridge and Royal Border Bridge. Might be time for a selfie!
