The mighty Berwick Town Walls are an iconic landmark of the town. The structure was built in 1558 to keep out invading Scots, who regularly laid claim to the town. It was the most expensive undertaking of England's Golden Age. These days, you can walk right around the walls, which are still standing. From this spot, you get a fabulous view over the town's three bridges: Berwick Bridge, Royal Tweed Bridge, and Royal Border Bridge.

Berwick-upon-Tweed Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

A Town Hall has stood on this site since at least the 16th century. Begun in 1750, this building stands majestically at the south end of Marygate. Until the 1830s, the Guild of Freemen governed civic affairs in Berwick from this building.
A guided tour of the Town Hall allows you to visit the jail and old town courtroom (reconstructed in the debtors’ jail). Secret gems include the 18th century graffiti in the ‘drunks’ cell’ and the ‘condemned’ cell!Tours run at 10.30am and 2pm, Monday-Friday only, from Easter to end of September. Group rates available.

Berwick Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Berwick-upon-Tweed is a picturesque coastal town 3 miles (5 km) from the Scottish Border. The peaceful streets of Berwick belie a turbulent past. Captured by Scots 13 times before finally falling into English hands in 1482, Berwick’s great Elizabethan walls are testament to these battles of old. You can walk the complete circuit of the town walls, which afford breathtaking views across the River Tweed estuary and Berwick’s three bridges; Berwick Bridge, Royal Tweed Bridge, and Royal Border Bridge. Berwick has many palaces for food and drink, shops, accommodation, and plenty of other attractions, making it perfect for a pit-stop or an overnight.
