I had no idea how picturesque the town of Berwick Upon Tweed
is. This coastal settlement has a fantastic historical town wall walk; where
you can visit both the barracks and battlements; and also explore the remains
of the castle. We followed a footpath through some parkland which descended to
the Tweed then carried on into the North Sea. Along the way, we found the old
castle walks and walked through an old tower entrance corridor. The remains of
the guard towers are still there to explore. The walls are full of tunnels and
ramparts to mark the town’s historic military past. There are also some
beautiful gardens hidden in the hillside, complete with a pond and a Japanese pergola.
Within the town itself, a fantastic town clock is perched upon a magnificent
town hall building; its size respecting the size of the town but its pillars
stand out to show the importance of the building. I would like to go back some
day and do a complete circuit of the town.
