Berwick is a wonderful base for anyone wishing to explore the area on foot or by bike.

A walk of about one and a quarter miles around Berwick’s unique circuit of Elizabethan ramparts and bastions offers panoramic views of the historic townscape and the surrounding countryside.

From the town centre there are lovely walks along either side of the River Tweed, across the Border along the rocky Berwickshire coast, or southwards to the beaches at Spittal and Cocklawburn and on to Holy Island or beyond.

You need travel only a few miles by cycle, bus or car to enjoy the peaceful solitude of the Cheviot Hills, or the miles of sandy beaches and dunes along the Northumberland Heritage Coast. You can often walk for miles before you will meet anyone else, alone with the sound of the breeze and the wild birds.

The district is crossed by several attractive long-distance footpaths:-
