An old city that lives its life securely and comfortably within the confines of a 16th century wall. The city's aesthetic qualities have been a source of inspiration for many artists over the years including the painter L.S. Lowry. If approaching Berwick by land, one must cross the River Tweed on one of the city's three architecturaly significant bridges.
The Tweed's estuary provides safe harbour for ocean-going ships and boats as well as a fertile fishing ground for Atlantic salmon. Fishermen still use methods used centuries ago, and row out in small boats to set their nets. They gather in the nets from a point
on shore or from rocky out-croppings in the estuary at low tide.

Great photos David, I loved Berwick when I went for a week’s holiday in August. My husband and our 3 kids went to the Berwick Haven Park and really enjoyed it. The weather was pretty decent for us and the actual town of Berwick was superb.tzjwy
Thanks for your compliments Melissa!
You're right - Berwick is a superb place, full of history and great architecture.
