The Castle Hotel
Berwick Upon Tweed
Berwick-upon-Tweed is the most northern town in England and over the centuries has changed hands between England and Scotland no less than 14 times. Today it is a popular holiday spot with people drawn to see its town walls, beaches, shops and cafes and - of course - the swans on the River Tweed beneath the famous border bridges.
South of the town, the Heritage Coast has been officially designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The long, sandy beaches are punctuated by spectacular castles, picturesque fishing villages and outstanding golf courses. The Holy Island of Lindisfarne and the bird and seal colonies on the nearby Farne Islands are particular gems.
Inland, the Tweed marks the border with Scotland whilst the the little market town of Wooler is a good centre for walking in the Cheviot Hills. These borderlands have a unique atmosphere - quiet and peaceful yet exceptionally warm and welcoming.
