Welcome to Berwick upon Tweed
Standing right at the Northern-most tip of Northumberland, Berwick upon Tweed is England's most dramatic walled town.
It has certainly attracted its fair share of famous admirers in the past. Lancastrian painter L.S. Lowry and countless others have become enchanted by Berwick's amazing architecture and its turbulent past.
Berwick was captured or sacked 13 times before 1432 when it finally fell into the hands of the English. The Elizabethan Town Walls that were built to keep the invading Scots out of the town were built in 1558 and the walls were the most expensive building project of England's Golden Age.
