    About

    Berwick-upon-Tweed Castle and Ramparts is a historic fortification located in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland. Visitors can explore the ruins of a medieval castle and walk the full two-mile circuit of the Elizabethan bastioned town defences. The elevated stone walkways offer panoramic views of the River Tweed, the North Sea, and the iconic Royal Border Bridge, while interpretation boards detail the turbulent history of the Anglo-Scottish border.

    Accessibility Highlights

    The venue website states that disabled access is available to the ramparts, allowing visitors with limited mobility to experience parts of the historic fortifications. Due to the historic nature of the site, certain sections include steep, uneven ground and unguarded drops. Public car parking with dedicated spaces for blue badge holders can be found in the surrounding town centre, and the main train station is situated adjacent to the castle ruins.

    Rolling round the ramparts

    This location was not part of my itinerary. I just got bored and decided to go for a wander, and I am so glad I did for the views alone. Whilst I did not visit the castle, I fancied touring the walls around Berwick and I had a great time, although access would have been a challenge without my wheelchair power attachment.
