Berwick-upon-Tweed Bed and Breakfasts

Berwick-upon-Tweed is famous for being England's most northernmost city. It sits at the tip of Northumberland and spans both sides of the River Tweed. Over the centuries, it's also become the most fought-over place in Europe, with the border between Scotland and England moving back and forth more than a dozen times over the years. Though it's been firmly placed within England for more than 500 years, the Scottish left their mark, particularly on the accent. When you stay in a Berwick-upon-Tweed bed and breakfast, don't miss walking across the Grade I listed Berwick Bridge, which was built more than 4 centuries ago.
