Just returned from two days at this..... our favorite North East site . The unusual layout and stepped layout give many pitches a great view out over the Tweed Estuary and although some mention the East Coast main line... its quiet from 11pm ish to about 6 30 am . Trains are at low speed coming into or leaving Berwick so no bother really . The site and wardens are top class and with 100 pitches and a difficult entrance they do a great job to look after members, Nice little pub called The Albion just 200 yards away which welcomes caravaners and a great walk along the beach towards Spittal and the sea front leading onto lovely cliff walks heading south ,
Main reason we just love Berwick site is walking round the ( very underrated !! ) magnificent Fortress Town of Berwick. An easy 20 minute walk from site. Down to The Albion then along the river past the RNLI to the Old Bridge. Then cross the Bridge which leads on the right to the River side walk and takes you past gun placements history boards and the LS Lowry trail .Further round you get a fantastic view of the Garrison and ramparts which, in credit to Berwick Council is just preserved and free to walk round . You can feel the history in the air. The walk comes round to the High Street in town where you can shop plus pubs regular market and places to eat . Only down side is the number of closed shops in main area. Shame really when this lovely little place and should be a thriving tourist magnet ( maybe too many supermarkets built nearby) I really dont understand why Berwick upon Tweed is not a World Heritage Site ?? . We suggest you dont miss coming here to see what is clearly one of Northumberlands "jewels in the crown" . Great Camp site, great walks, history on tap ,peaceful at night . Fantastic wardens . Only problem is its difficult to find a pitch so book early !!
