We came to Paxton House to take part in the Christmas Cracker. It was a remarkable experience. The house was decorated from top to bottom with great skill. There were over 60 stalls plus many other attractions: Santa in the library with beautifully wrapped gifts,an...MoreThank you for your kind review.

I love walking the walls at Berwick. Its a great way of blowing away the cobwebs and seeing some history while you're at it! It's fairly gentle but be wary as there are some steep drops. Fabulous view out to sea too.
4. Chain Bridge Honey Farm

4.5 based on 582 reviews
Reviewed By Richard K
We visited on a cold February day, and spent about an hour looking round the indoor exhibition rooms, then an hour walking from the honey farm to and over the nearby England/Scotland border Iron Bridge, in which the Farm is closely involved with the bridge restoration charity
There are several rooms of information on bees at the farm showing clearly laid out information on bees and beekeeping from all over the world, plus a shop with many reasonably priced local teeside honey and beeswax containing cosmetic products made on the farm.
Outside there are a large number of agricultural machines and busses, restored or being restored, but for us it was too cold a day to look at these.

The food is excellent with a large range of creative choices on the specials board. The staff are very attentive but the restaurant gets very busy and you may have to wait a while for service.
6. The Lowry Trail

Reviewed By Rossergruffydd - Glasgow, United Kingdom
If you are walking around the town you may spot the information boards for the Lowry Trail and they will take you around the sites with plenty of detail and good drawings, etc. Berwick has lots of hidden corners and the trail takes you to them. It will take a while to do the whole trail however even a short section is worthwhile.
7. Berwick upon-Tweed Barracks and Main Guard
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By purpletravelat - Newark-on-Trent, United Kingdom
This is run by English Heritage and simply consists of barrack blocks full of museum items or explanation boards. It would have been ideal to see inside the blocks as they would have been when used for soldiers.
If you are interested in military medals then you will enjoy it.
After about 30 minutes it became boring, We would have left earlier but it was raining.

Reviewed By sherbert B - Melbourne, Australia
This is a very notable bridge for many important reasons but also because Isambard Kingdom Brunel saw it opened at the age of 18! Silly trivia and the sad thing this is on a brochure I happened to find at our accomodation, nothing appears at the actual site. What a pity!

Nice pretty coastline and beach. Worth a visit. Very dog friendly many dogs running and playing off leads. Nightmare for my child who is upset by jumping sniffing dogs around while paddling. If you are a dog lover get yourself there and enjoy it well worth a visit. Icecream van also at top.
10. Royal Border Bridge

Reviewed By profjoypc - Alnwick, United Kingdom
The Royal Border Bridge spans the River Tweed between Berwick and Tweedmouth and is a spectacular piece of architecture designed by Robert Stevenson (Son of George Stevenson). It is a Grade 1 listed railway viaduct constructed between 1847 and 1850. It is a wonderful bridge to be seen from the ground - we love walking along the banks of the Tweed looking up to to see trains passing over the bridge on their route north to Edinburgh or south from Scotland. When you are on a train arriving into Berwick station it is a spectacular vantage point to see the Tweed and the other Bridges over the river. It is a great bridge to observe by day and also when illuminated by night.
