Berwick or bust?

[bort]

I got itchy feet and hoping someone here can help

I'm half way through a 4 day break. Spent Friday (1st day of holiday) working from home. Today was squandered - cleaning the family vehicle, MotoGP, Middlesborough game etc.

I was, therefore, hoping to get out manyana and stay out somewhere - and I was thinking of Berwick upon Tweed.

Anyone here got any idea what it's like (quaint? quiet? full of marauding scots?) and whether it's worth the trip?

Fast feedback appreciated, cos I gotta go somewhere tomorrow (sea, north, not too far from Leeds) or I'm dumb enough to go back to work on Monday (sad git that I am) and lose the day off.

Cheers

Bort

From what I remember on a brief passing through it,Berwicks claim to fame is having 3 bridges (over the tweed).Not a lot else I remember about it but it was about 25 years ago

Normally stop there to refuel on the way further South. There doesn't appear to be much going on there. It's fairly quiet at this time of year but is a bit more active during Holiday season. Nice place though.

Brilliant Chippie and a good Chinese.

Nice old buildings down by the river. Weather looks good for a run there, go for it ;D

Berwicks ok, an old town with a wall around it like York. Was at war with Russia until the late 80,s when they signed a peace agreement. If you want good biking roads try any of them crossing the border futher inland towards the Cheviot hills and down into England.
