Berwick-Upon-Tweed
| |
|
Berwick-Upon-Tweed is the northern most port on the East coast of England. A historic market town close to the boarder between Scotland and England, it is a great place to visit if you like being off the beaten track. Facilities in Tweed Dock are basic but sound. Navigation is reasonably straightforward in good conditions but require care otherwise.
