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.
