Berwick upon Tweed Cottages
Please find below a selection of self catering holiday cottages
to rent in Berwick Upon Tweed, Northumberland.
Welcome to an extraordinary walled town on Northumberland's
spectacular coast, boasting amazing architecture and a mesmerising
historic background - a classic border town that's changed
hands between England and Scotland umpteen times.
First stop, a stroll around the Elizabethan Town Walls, built at
huge expense in 1558 to keep the Scots firmly out. Take in the
views of the River Tweed's mighty estuary and marvel at
Stephenson's magnificent viaduct, The Royal Border Bridge. Then
step inside to a charming Georgian town offering lots to see and
do, not to mention some Berwick-upon-Tweed holiday cottages.
Berwick was Lowry's favourite holiday spot and fans can
trace his footsteps along the Lowry Trail. Admire the beautiful
Parish Church and The Guildhall, a handsome building with ornate
columns and a lofty spire.
The town has a flourishing arts and cultural scene, highlighted
by the Maltings Theatre and Arts Centre, as well as galleries and
museums like Berwick Barracks and Main Guard. Annual events
celebrate the lives of ancient border clans in the 'Riding of
the Bounds and Border Marches'.
On Wednesdays and Saturdays, market traders and shoppers bring
the streets alive, while a monthly farmers' market showcases
local produce - try some Berwick Cockles (or old-fashioned
peppermints).
Learn more about the town's intriguing past on the Battle
Trail at Conundrum Farm, the last farm in England and a great day
out for families, with life-size images of soldiers, a fun barn and
farm animals.
And with idyllic coast and countryside on your doorstep, a
Berwick-upon-Tweed cottage guarantees a holiday to remember.
