Berwick Upon Tweed is Located 2+1⁄2 miles (4 kilometres) south of the Anglo-Scottish border, it is the northernmost town in England.

This border town has a history of being passed between England and Scotland like a hot potato, and Berwick-upon-Tweed’s dominant Town Walls, old prison cells of the Town Hall and winding, cobbled streets hold a complex and violent past.

Berwick Upon Tweed is a fabulous destination for a day out if you're in North East England. Full of tourist attractions, Berwick offers everything from a thriving town centre high street to amazing historic town walls and one of the most scenic river walks in the UK.

The town has passed between England and Scotland on so many occasions and been the location of some really violent and historic moments!

Steeped in history, Berwick on Tweed is now a tourism destination with lots to see and do here and plenty of history to explore from Berwick Town Walls to the remains of Berwick Castle. Other attractions include Berwick Barracks and Berwick Town Hall which are worth a visit!

The Royal Tweed Bridge over the River Tweed is another fascinating feature here worth seeing if you're in the town.

Berwick remains a traditional market town and also has some notable architectural features, in particular its medieval town walls, its Georgian Town Hall, its Elizabethan ramparts, and Britain's earliest barracks buildings

Berwick, along with former fishing village Tweedmouth and the seaside resort of Spittal, historically owes its livelihood to the river. A hub for exports, a centre of a thriving salmon fishing industry from the sixteenth century and a boat-building town from the eighteenth century, it has stone harbour walls and a cobbled quayside beneath the massive ramparts.

The definitive border town, focus of many centuries of warfare between England and Scotland, Berwick has perfectly preserved Elizabethan fortifications, the most complete town defences of its type in Northern Europe, and eighteenth century Barracks that were the first in Britain to be purpose-built. In 2015 Berwick celebrated 900 years of history and heritage with exhibitions, living history, and a programme of exciting events.

Built between and around these iconic historic sites are Georgian buildings of great character, linked by cobbled lanes and narrow archways. This is a town packed with interest and tradition, and even boasts a building which leans even more than the Tower of Pisa - a Granary, now restored as a youth hostel, art gallery and bistro
