3. The Elizabethan Town Walls

Reviewed By Ruth5757 - St Helens, United Kingdom
Berwick's Town walls are an outstanding example of their type and are unusual in incorporating lengthy portions of strongly built earthworks. They did their job of keeping out the Scots exceedingly well. They survive in surprisingly good condition and can be walked along for much of their length providing extensive views of the town, the sea and the surrounding Northumbrian countryside,

Our first visit to Berwick and we had no idea Lowry had been taken by the town/river/people and that he visited so often. The tourist boards at the various places along the walk where he painted the views display his works.

8. The Lindisfarne Gospels Garden
9. Church of the Holy Trinity
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 26 reviews
Reviewed By BillH934 - Aberdeen, United Kingdom
One of a handful of churches built during the Commonwealth and utterly fascinating inside and out (check out your Pevsner guide before you visit). You can just imagine a gloomy sermon being delivered to the roundheads but the Victorian restorations/additions of stained glass and a high church reredos would probably have Cromwell spinning in his grave... The only downside is that the trees surrounding the church are getting a little out of hand, so it's hard to appreciate the exterior.

Visited today (having visited the area two years ago and didn’t even know it was here - a real hidden gem) and we all (Grandma and my four year old son) really enjoyed it. The staff are so friendly and helpful, but at the same time leave you be to see the pigs, the sheep, the geese, the ducks and most importantly the ‘heavies’. It’s clear to see these beautiful animals are all much loved members of the family, the staff speak with such fondness of them. Being able to get so close to such giants to pet and stroke them and give them a treat is very special (if you love horses). Looking at the history behind Farm technology and how the horses were used is fascinating - and seeing all the impressive harnesses, bridles and leatherwork displayed gave a true sense of how strong these animals are. A gift shop where you can buy a souvenir and grab a slice of cake and coffee really completes the trip. Sad to miss the carriage rides but if we’re ever in the area again visit Hay Farm Heavies would definitely be on our must see list. Thank you to the boys (Teddy, Merlin, Scot, Dan and cheeky Stan) for being so patient and gentle and Cane and Sparkle too!
