Berwick-upon-Tweed is a town in the county of Northumberland. It is the northernmost town in England. Berwick upon Tweed is located 2 ¹⁄₂ miles south of the Scottish border, at the mouth of the River Tweed on the east coast.
Berwick upon Tweed is about 56 miles (90 km) east-south east of Edinburgh, 65 miles (105 km) north of Newcastle upon Tyne and 345 miles (555 km) north of London. Berwick was founded as an Anglo-Saxon settlement during the time of the Kingdom of Northumbria, which was annexed by England in the 10th century.
Berwick remains a traditional market town and also has some notable architectural features, in particular its medieval town walls, its Elizabethan ramparts and Britain's earliest barracks buildings (1717–21 by Nicholas Hawksmoor for the Board of Ordnance).
The old A1 road passes through Berwick. The modern A1 goes around the town to the west. The town is on the East Coast Main Line railway, and has a railway station. A small seaport at Tweedmouth facilitates the import and export of goods, but provides no passenger services. The port is protected by a long breakwater built in the 19th century, at the end of which is a red and white lighthouse. Completed in 1826, the 13 metres (43 ft) tower emits a white light every five seconds from a window overlooking the sea.
Berwick Castle was built in the 13th century and rebuilt in the 1290s. Berwick town walls and Tudor ramparts – some of the finest remaining examples of their type in the country. The Old Bridge, 15-span sandstone arch bridge 1,164 feet (355 m) long, built in 1610.
Holy Trinity Parish Church, unusual for having been built during the Commonwealth of England. Berwick Barracks, built 1717–21, the design attributed to Nicholas Hawksmoor. Dewars Lane Granary, built in 1769, now restored as a hotel and art gallery. Marshall Meadows Country House Hotel, built in 1780 as a country house, is north of the town.
Union Bridge, 5 miles (8 km) upstream, from Berwick, was built in 1821 and is the World's oldest surviving suspension bridge. The Kings Arms Hotel on Hide Hill was built in 1782 and rebuilt in 1845. The Royal Border Bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson and built in 1847. St Andrew's Church, Wallace Green was built in 1859 and is one of only eight Church of Scotland congregations in England.
The Masonic Hall was built in 1872 for the town's St David's Masonic Lodge for £1,800. The Royal Tweed Bridge, built in 1925 to carry the A1 road across the Tweed. Its span is 361 feet (110 m). Dewars Lane runs down Back Street just off Bridge Street.

The Light House = This lighthouse is located at the end of the pier at the historical town of Berwick upon Tweed, from where there are tremendous views down the Northumberland Coast.
Built in the 19th century the light guides shipping to the entrance to the River Tweed and Berwick Harbour. During the nineteenth century Berwick-upon-Tweed became an important trading town and it grew in size considerably with the addition of it's new harbours and quays. The town's main breakwater was extended between 1810 and 1811 to protect the harbours, so required a lighthouse to be built at its end, which happened in 1826.
The tower is 13 metres high and is built almost completely out of locally sourced stone, including the lantern and roof - it is painted mostly white, with the base and roof painted red.
The front of the tower has a wide window, from which the main white light, flashing once every 5 seconds, is displayed, infront of which is the gallery, where the foghorn and fog detector were mounted until removed in the 2011 refurbishment of the tower, when the whole lighthouse was grit-blasted and repainted.
A small fixed green light is shown from a window in the back of the tower, which faces inland, visible for only a mile.
The lighthouse was completely re-painted in 2011, for the first time in 16 years.
Spittle Beach =Spittal is a town in northern Northumberland, England, lying opposite the Tweed from Berwick. Spittal Beach is considered one of the best beaches in Northumberland.[1]
The name derives from a shortened form of hospital; a hospital, dedicated to St Bartholomew, was built here in the Middle Ages to take care of lepers. St John's, the parish church, was built in 1867 in the Early English style, its tower being added in 1894. Prior to this, Spittlers had worshipped in a stable loft. There is also a nonconformist church, St Paul's, built in 1878.The town has several hotels and guest houses providing bed and breakfast, a town hall, and several shops of different kinds.
Greenses/(Haven)Berwick Holiday Center ( Magdalene Fields )=
Greenses Haven is a small tidal bay, about a mile north of the Tweed estuary, with a ruined pier. According to Fuller, writing in 1799, there were three boats based at Greenses that were employed in the white and lobster fisheries and five boats at Spittal. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries Greenses remained an important base for inshore fishing. It was one of four sites at Berwick upon Tweed used by local fishermen. The site is Also near by a old Army Camp from the 1940's that the now haven site is now occupying.

Exploring: Berwick upon Tweed - magic little town near Scottish/English border
Discovering Scotland's east coast, this was my first stop. River Tweed has been a boundary between Scotland and England for centuries. Berwick-upon-Tweed has changed hands many times before becoming a part of England. Old castle park, three bridges, pier, lighthouse, old defences - there is a lot to explore.

Berwick upon Tweed, Eyemouth, St Abbs Head.
Historic Berwick upon Tweed is the most northerly town on the Northumberland coast and has been a thriving trading centre and international port from as early as the 12th and 13th centuries. It was a Royal Burgh of Scotland in 1120 and during the many centuries of border warfare changed hands no fewer than 14 times, the last being in 1482.
Eyemouth: The Eye water flows north into the North Sea here and the natural harbour formed by the river mouth has been used as far back as the 1200's, and probably much further. During Henry V111's incursions into Scotland during the 1540's the English used the port and built an artillery fort on the east side of the Eye Water. This occupied the area behind the site
used in 1755 for one of Eyemouts's most distintive buildings, Gunsgreen House. The life of the historical hero of the town, William Spears (1812-1885) is celebrated by the statue, where he points the way to Ayton, the scene of his peaceful demonstration. He led a revolt against the 'tithes' (one tenth part of something, paid as a levy or tax like payment)' on fish levied by the church of Scotland. St. Abb's Head is the point at which a coastline which has headed generally northwards from the Wash turns to head west into the Firth of Forth. In 1862 it acquired a lighthouse built by David and Thomas Stevenson. This was built, unusually, below the highest part of the headland.

To The Breakwater Light - Berwick-upon-Tweed - Silent Film
This silent film was re-edited down from the original short film The Gentlemen screened as part of Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival 2007.
In 2010, a number of local bands and musicians from Berwick-upon-Tweed were invited to create new scores for the film, to be performed at The Maltings Theatre in Berwick on 24 September in the main house theatre. These new scores will in due course be posted as video responses to this video.
If you would like to create a new musical soundtrack for this film and re-post it as a video response, be our guests! We'll moderate the response and then link through to it from our website. All entries welcome, there are no rules but spoken language - and offensive content - is not permitted. Songs, on the other hand, are fine. The music can be from any genre - the only proviso is that it should respond to the action of the film in some way.
To The Breakwater Light & The Gentlement were written & directed by Miles Gregory, 2006.
The Breakwater Light is the name of the famous lighthouse that stands at the end of Berwick pier and is featured in the film.
