Just two miles from the Scottish border Berwick upon Tweed has changed hands between the English and Scottish no less than 13 times. A walk round the Elizabethan ramparts will reveal the fine Georgian architecture of this beautiful walled town. Marygate, the towns bustling main street is dominated by the imposing Town Hall, built around 1750. The river tweed internationally famous for salmon fishing runs through Berwick and is also home to the 2nd largest herd of beautiful Mute Swans in Britain. The oldest of 3 bridges, Berwick bridge, was built betwee 1611 and 1634. Renowned artist L.S. Lowry loved to holiday in Berwick and painted many pictures during his visits to the town.
