Local Area

Berwick upon Tweed is a fine, handsome and once very wealthy town. Steeped in blood soaked history and fascinating to explore, it is built upon a peninsula at the mouth of the Tweed. A tour of the Barracks and the museum gives a wonderful insight, not only into regimental history but also the town’s schizophrenic past. Originally home to the 25th Regiment of Foot, it was used as a staging post on the journey north and became home to the King’s Own Scottish Borderers in the 1880s. It is still their regimental headquarters and to this day they flood the town in early August to commemorate the Batlle of Minden and parade through the town – a spectacular sight. A two kilometre walk around the ramparts, perhaps taking in a guided tour by Derek Sharman MBE our local historical expert, is a must.

Berwick is quite unique and can boast a range of attractions to visit while staying with us:
The Lowry Trail – a brilliant tour of art and imagery (click here to take the virtual tour).
Berwick Rangers, the only English Team to play in the Scottish Division.
Berwick Bandits – Speedway.
A yearly Riding of the Bounds.
