Really enjoyed it, but the church you pointed out as the parish church is in fact a Church of Scotland, the parish lies behind it next to the walls. The cromwellian parish church has no spire and so can be overlooked!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you so much for the information! You're absolutely right, it's easy to overlook the other church just as I did, but I'll pin your comment so that everybody can see. Thanks for the correction and Merry Christmas :)
Just wondering are you from Berwick when I was a kid we used to go on holiday there every year as you walk down by the church there used to be a great toy shop with a fully laid out train set inside forgot what it was called I'm 51 now.
@@graemenicol6377 Yes, I grew up in Berwick and live there currently. I'm not sure which toy shop that would be, I think there was one called the Toy Box, but I could be wrong!
@@chrishart8897 I'm back to the early to mid 80s last time I was in Berwick was 1987 the shop I'm on about was on right hand side of the church on the corner on the road that runs opposite that's if that makes sense.
@@graemenicol6377 ah that explains it. That is a little before my time. On fb there is a group called "Forgotten Berwick" it's pretty much a photo archive of the town and worth a look. Might get your answer there
My name is Piero, I am 71 years old, I live in Tuscany, (Italy), in the summer period (1968-1969) I lived from June to September in Berwick upon Tweed, working as waiter at The Castle Hotel, which is located near the train station. What a thrill to see the videos showing Berwick.. I remember Diddy Lucy Edward Pokora, the Roselli family who ran the coffee shop Arlequin, Tony Corvi and his wife where I ate my first fish and cheeps Kathleen Robson, Mr Todrick, Mrs Mac Lauren, I was 18, when I first saw Berwick. That period of life will always be in my thoughts and in my heart with immense Nostalgia Piero
That sounds very nostalgic indeed! I'm really glad to hear that this video brought back some wonderful memories of Berwick - I'm sure that the town was as lovely a place back then as it is today (and I bet the fish & chips were too!) Thank you so much for watching and for sharing those memories - I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the video :) Grazie!
It's a lovely place indeed - and a great stop for a holiday, just like Mr. Lowry did back in the day :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Excellent video by the way. Particularly missing Berwick as I type this. Was in the town at October half-term and was meant to be returning for new year and staying on through January (part work, part leisure) but the dreaded looks as though it will get in the way yet again 😕 ...anyway, we'll see. Whatever, Berwick will still be there! Thanks for posting 👍😎
Absolutely! Berwick will always be there (although who knows - it might switch sides of the border one day in the future 😜 I hope you get to return to the town sooner rather than later - as you well know it's a wonderful place :)
I just discovered this video, and your channel yesterday. It is a fantastic, and informative video. I've subcribed and look forward for other nice ones like this one! Oh and by the way, the back and forth history of Berwick-upon-tweed, between Scotland and England just makes it that much better! 😂
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Berwick's ping-pong history with Scotland and England is one of its biggest charms, there really is nowhere else like it in the country! But the question is...which country? Thank you so much for watching and especially for subscribing - do stay tuned for more videos every week, including from Northumberland and maybe even beyond the border :)
Great video. We used to live in Berwick and this walk took us right back to that time. A walk we have done some many times. Berwick is a great town, with so much history. I never know why it is not so much more often visited, as it has so much to offer.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some nice memories! Berwick is indeed a great town, and one I'm sure everybody would love to visit - maybe its northernmost title is what acts against it...who knows? Thank you for watching :)
Lovely to watch. Missed berwick during this pandemic as my aunty still lives there in church street and havent been able to visit from nottinghamshire. Nice also to see my granny's old house at 8.28 the cream coloured house opposite the guard house.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad this video helped you get to see a bit of Berwick for the moment. Your granny certainly had quite a view over the harbour from there in her old house :) Thank you for watching - I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the video!
It's a great town indeed, and I bet you've had many a great holiday in Berwick in the past. Plus the trains do make it rather easy to get to - both from Edinburgh and even all the way from London :) Thank you very much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Berwick really is a wonderful town, with its border identity right at the heart of its captivating historical allure - not to mention the spectacular scenery to be found all around :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
What a lovely video! I enjoyed every step of the way and really appreciated your historical insights. I found you thanks to one of my recent subscribers who, as luck would have it, is from Berwick and who mentioned this video in a comment on one I just uploaded yesterday in which I do a similar sort of walking tour of my neighborhood here in the US. In any case, good luck to you!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Berwick is a really fascinating place, and I must give my thanks to that one of your subscribers who mentioned the video, that's very kind of them indeed :) Best of luck to you too - and I enjoyed your tour of Yellow Springs, it looks like a lovely place!
I commented on the walk around Lincoln video and mentioned my family links to Lincoln, this upload then popped up in my feed which is a bit strange as it's the other big part of the tory of my family history. An ancestor was a coastguard and posted to Berwick in the 1840's, initially living across the river in one of the shorehouses at Spittal (and I can see there's a Tweedmouth video too so I'll check that one out), the family moved to Hide Hill Even more strange is the fact I knew nothing of my family history when I moved to Coldstream not that far from Berwick. Much like the Lincoln footage you passed right by where my ancestors lived and worked (and looked out at places I've worked myself).
You're welcome! And thank you very much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the walk around Berwick, one of my favourite towns in Britain too :)
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - I had a very nice time in Berwick when I visited for this video, it's such a lovely town and full of history :)
I’ve enjoyed all these walks usually on a brighter day with the sea air , and in the 50’s came to Berwick Fair with my Granny when the Marygate was bustling with stalls and people. Sad to see the empty shops .
Thank you so much! I'm sorry that the shops were shut and that it was a bit grey on this day, but as you say Berwick can be a wonderfully bustling place, and an absolute delight to visit :) Thank you so much for watching - I do hope you enjoyed this video!
Thank you for posting this wonderful content. I always love content creators that are tourism driven showing what the area is like in depth. I’m from the US, and have always wanted to visit, so seeing this gives me a better road map for things I want to see when I can visit!
Thank you so much! There's certainly a lot to showcase in Berwick - and this video only just about scratches the surface of one of the UK's most unique towns! I hope you get the chance to visit someday :) Thank you very much for watching and commenting - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
It's a gorgeous place! And a great way to say goodbye to England as you cross the border into Scotland too :) Thank you for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
A very good question indeed! The Berwick accent is a fascinating one - and it certainly is much closer to a Scottish accent than a typical North East English accent, though I'm sure you'll hear many different personal opinions on the matter :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video and that I helped to answer your question!
I'm delighted to hear it! You've got a lot to look forward to when you visit, not only in Berwick's town centre but also around the town too :) I hope you have a great time in the summer! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!
It's a gorgeous town - and full of history! I'd say you're very lucky to live there :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
You're welcome! Berwick really is a beautiful and unique town - an absolute joy to walk around on any day :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
More memories, stayed in Berwick a few years ago in a hotel you walked passed, it was the last in the row on the left near the station and opposite the Kwik Fit garage. We walked the Tweed bank from the town to just before the railway bridge then up some steps that came out just before the station and near the hotel. We’ve also called for a stop there many times on our way back from numerous trips to Scotland, unfortunately the car park you passed on the right was either full or the spaces available wouldn’t fit our large car so we started stopping at the supermarket just off the A1 on the way into the town.
I'm sure you had a great time in Berwick, and the area of Tweedmouth where the Morrisons supermarket is also has a lot to see if you're ever up there again - it's a fascinating area of the country :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Its a very beautiful landscape around Berwick and i like little towns like Berwick upon tweed ! Thank you for the video and a first time look into this impressive landscape at the North Sea !
It certainly is! Right up on the windswept Anglo-Scottish border, Berwick really is a spectacular place to visit, from its characterful town centre to the stunning natural scenery that surrounds it too :) Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Indeed! The history of Berwick and its changing nationalities over the centuries is what makes it such a unique town, and a fascinating place to visit to see where it all happened in the past :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Berwick certainly is a beautiful town and its history is one of the most fascinating in the entire country - I'm very happy to hear you found it an interesting watch :)
AÏE AÏE AÏE SUPER MERCI POUR CE PHARAONIQUE PANORAMIQUE MAGNIFIQUE HYPER PASSIONNANT ET IMPRESSIONNANT !.. BRAVO POUR L'HUMOUR DU DESCRIPTIF !.. BELLE JOURNÉE LET'S WALK !..
Merci beaucoup! Berwick est une ville vraiment fascinante, avec une histoire absolument unique en Angletere (ou en Écosse aussi!) Je suis très heureux que vous avez aimé le vidéo - belle journée à vous aussi :)
Very much so! And a truly unique town Berwick is too, what with all its centuries of conflict and changing nationality! Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video :)
those ramparts are unique but remember there is no barrier and be careful sheer drop, the most quietest town in england, honest solitude love it, why go anywhere else for a holiday
Ha ha it's quite amazing that you can still walk right along the edges of those Elizabethan ramparts, but they do offer some stunning views of Berwick, along with a look back into its riveting history - certainly a worthy place for a great holiday :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!

I love Berwick-upon-Tweed and hope to end my days there. I walked solo to it en route from Dover to Edinburgh in 2018.
It really is one of the most special and fascinating places in the UK, but I'd love to hear more about your epic walk up the map! That sounds amazing!
@@LetsWalkUK If you search up my Instagram account 'trussypaul' and scroll down, all my pics/vids are still there recording the whole walk 👍

Berwick may Bea small town but it has so much history. Love it
Berwick upton tweed was my favourite stop when I was on the LNER train from London to Edinburgh
It's a gorgeous place! And a great way to say goodbye to England as you cross the border into Scotland too :)
Thank you for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Very nice Town, one question to ask, do the locals speak with a English or Scottish accent? 🤔

Does the local team still play in the Scottish league
Super informative video .
