The pretty UK seaside town that’s ‘undiscovered’ - blends 2 countries in 1

Located on the border of England and Scotland is a pretty town that’s become a favourite for Brits. Known for its beautiful landscapes and scenic seaside, Berwick-upon-Tweed is a spot you simply must plan to visit.

Undiscovered Scotland has said that the town is a gem, home to “spectacular” features and "distinctive" spots. The settlement has changed hands no fewer than 14 times in the two centuries up to 1482 and today remains an important part of Scottish history, but technically in England.

The town is nestled along the Northumberland coast making it a picturesque spot. Known as the northernmost town in England, Berwick is situated just two-and-a-half miles south of the Anglo-Scottish border, offering a unique blend of English and Scottish influences.

With a population of around 12,000, Berwick-upon-Tweed is small yet rich in heritage.

The town has been a significant site for centuries due to its strategic location, which made it a focal point during the numerous conflicts between England and Scotland.

One must-visit in the area is Spittal Beach which is listed as one of the best beaches in the area on Tripadvisor.

One person who visited said: “Great beach and promenade walks. Views fantastic. Watch out for dolphins. Well worth a visit if visiting Berwick-upon-Tweed.”

Another penned: “A breath of fresh air - in every sense. Great beach, great waves, and great views across the estuary.”

By train, you can also visit Edinburgh which is just 40 minutes away. The city is known for its picturesque cobbled streets and exciting atmosphere.

It’s worth making a trip there, where you’ll be able to explore Edinburgh Castle, walk the Royal Mile, and visit Holyrood Palace.

While you’re in the city, you can also visit its wide range of museums, climb Arthur’s Seat for stunning views, and enjoy shops and dining in New Town.

If you’re looking to take a break in the UK this year, Berwick-upon-Tweed is the ideal location to visit for a relaxing break.
